Arbory: Candidate wants to see improvements to primary school drop-off zone

A prospective Arbory and Rushen commissioner says she wants to see the drop-off zone at the area’s primary school made safer for children and parents. 

Rachael Reilly (nee Cringle) is hoping to gain a seat in the by-election for the Arbory Ward.

She's one of two candidates standing to fill the seat left by now Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Kirrie Jenkins.

The other candidate standing is Mark Firth. 

Mrs Reilly says if elected she would also try and be 'prudent' with the rate and budget setting process. 

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to her:

All candidates standing in by-elections have been invited for an interview ahead of polling day on 3 December, when polls will be open between 8am and 8pm at Ballabeg Parish Hall.
