Douglas Council could take the first step towards slimming the number of its councillors today.
At a meeting this afternoon, Councillor Ann Corlett will put a motion forward asking to cut the local authority’s elected representatives from 18 down to 12.
She says the Island’s capital is massively over-represented and doesn’t need as many sitting members.
And she says she’d also like to look at the council’s ward boundaries in time for 2016’s elections:
Murder accused had intellectual age of 'nine-year-old'
Jury hears suspect had borderline learning disability
MHKs explain their 'no vote' decision in chief minister election

Farmers union declares no faith in DEFA leadership
