The local authority will now write to the DOI for its support
A motion at last night's Ramsey Commissioners meeting to merge the voting wards into one has been passed.
Commissioner Ffinlo Williams believes there is an unequal voting split in the town for local authority elections, which favours the north ward due to its bigger population.
Previous concerns were raised about the costs being doubled and for shrinking the board.
Mr Williams says the next step is for the Department of Infrastructure to support the decision:
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
Douglas council seeking sites for future housing development
Yellow alert for heavy rain issued, replacing previous warning
