Requisition meeting in southern village

Residents of Port St Mary will gather next week to discuss problems which have beset their local commissioners.

After four members abruptly resigned, four replacement commissioners were appointed in an uncontested election. The 'new' faces included Alex Merchant, who was one of the four who left.

Issues relating to this will be aired at a requisition meeting, chaired by Captain of the Parish Stan Clucas, at the Living Hope Church, next Tuesday, August 17.

Appearing on the platform will be Rushen MHK, Phil Gawne, Mr Merchant and two as yet unspecified members of the board.

The meeting will start at 7pm.
