Economy 'not diverse enough' - candidate

Island 'too dependent' on few industries

The Island's economy isn't diverse enough.

That's the belief of a candidate standing in Douglas North in this September's General Election.

38 year old David Ashford is a Project Manager and Douglas Councillor.

He says he sees his public service as separate from government and thinks the Keys should have a broad range of members.

Mr Ashford says the Island is currently over-dependent on a small range of industries.
