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:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
President of Tynwald Laurence Skelly receives OBE
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Senior meteorologist has been reflecting on the weather over the last 12 months
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Will Bellamy pays tribute to wider emergency services and healthcare community
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
Mark Christian hopes King's Fire Service Medal will 'shine a spotlight' on Manx emergency service
