Claire Wells takes up the role
The new leader of Douglas Council says personalities need to be put aside.
Claire Wells was elected to the role earlier this week - taking over from David Christian.
The vote, amongst the twelve current councillors, was split five/seven with fellow councillor Devon Watson.
Mrs Wells says to be effective, in its current form, the council needs to club together:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Police provide update after incident closed roads in the area
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Infrastructure Minister confirms work will start next week
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
Department of Infrastructure says upgrades will make travel easier for wheelchair and mobility scooter users
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
Police response ongoing with Little Mill Road, Cronk-ny-Mona and Creg Ny Baa affected
