Chairman puts foot down on plans
Talks of a proposed merger between Port St Mary and Port Erin Commissioners have had a 'detrimental' effect on local politics.
Port St Mary chairman Laurence Vaughan-Williams made those claims after the authority's clerk, Alistair Hamilton, tendered his resignation yesterday.
Though the exact reasons have not been revealed, it is the latest in a line of staffing changes at the board in recent months.
Mr Vaughan-Williams says the idea of amalgamation has sparked fears over redundancies - and that there are more important issues to worry about:
Pothole claims cost department thousands
Increase in scarlet fever on the Island
Government 'neglecting' heritage assets across the Island
Motiv8: 'We will never reach all the children on the Isle of Man'
