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:
Smile of Mann programme to start in primary schools next year
Fluoride varnish treatments to be delivered by a dedicated team
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
The airline has blamed stormy weather for the delay
Kirk Michael man taking on 31 marathons in 31 days in memory of friend
Albert Johnson is raising money for Autism Initiatives UK
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
Boat was later used to smuggle £310,000 worth of cannabis to the Island
