Garff member claims cash saved
Does the Isle of Man really need so many local authorities and elected local representatives?
One commissioner – who’s seeing his board merge with two others – says he doesn’t think so, and more should consider amalgamating.
Robert Moughtin represents newly-created Garff, which was formed from Lonan, Laxey and Maughold Commissioners.
He says the benefits of creating fewer, smaller boards are obvious:
Government consultations need 'more objective and neutral' approach
Former government press officer says some have been 'very skewed'
Applications open for role on planning committee
