Low interest in local authority elections not just a Manx problem
A pay packet is not the right way to encourage more people to stand for local government seats.
That's the view of Glenfaba MHK Geoffrey Boot.
Many seats went uncontested in local authorities at the last General Election.
But Mr Boot thinks the problem exists on a wider scale:
Manx Care 'deeply regrets' data request errors
Healthcare provider says it's committed to ensuring full compliance with data protection laws
Woman bitten by dog in Crosby
She suffered minor injuries during incident
Environmental surveys scheduled for proposed wind farm in south of Island
Ecologists to assess environmental consequences of proposed development
No 20mph 'blanket speed limits', says MHK
Thomas thinks targeted approach is what's needed
