A candidate standing for Peel Commissioners wants to see more 'transparency' and would try and improve the social media pages. 

William Otieno-Costain, a business owner, says if elected he would also like to review the business rates in the town and lobby the government to raise rates on empty properties.

Residents will be able to vote at Corrin Hall from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April. 

Mr Otieno-Costain also hopes to improve the facilities available for young people in the town and create a 'third space'.

The other candidates are Katryna Baptist, Frank Crompton, Alistair Cubbon-Wood, Stuart Hardingham, Ray Harmer, Sharon Lambert, Christine Moughtin.
