New PSM chairman seeks stability

'Safe pair of hands' needed

The new chairman of Port St Mary Commissioners has denied uncertainty at the top is detracting from other political issues.

Laurence Vaughan-Williams took up the post this week, following a vote of no confidence in former leader Alan Grace.

It is not currently known why Mr Grace's position was considered untenable.

Mr Vaughan-Williams, who has only been a commissioner for six months, believes being a relative newcomer will allow him to survey the situation with added clarity.
