David Ashford was a Douglas Councillor in 2016
A former Treasury Minister wants to see local authorities take on the collection of rates themselves.
David Ashford, MHK for Douglas North says they should be left to 'get on' with the job.
It follows a statement made by current Treasury Minister Dr Alex Allinson, which said a consultation into the collection of rates debt would be created before the summer break.
Mr Ashford says the idea would not be popular with 'many' local authorities:
Senior medical leaders 'reject' results of rapid bed review
Independent review found adding beds will not solve wider issues
Students split on prospect of under-16 social media ban
IOM Government hasn't confirmed if it plans to follow UK's lead
Island's police supporting UK-wide operation led by Immigration Compliance
Constabulary issues statement following activity on King Edward Road this morning
Plan for future of Hospice to be brought forward 'during this administration'
Any requests for additional funding will be put before Tynwald, says minister
