A new forum to enable representatives of large Manx towns to discuss matters of mutual interest, such as housing, could be on the way.
Ramsey commissioner Leonard Singer came up with the idea for an association, which would include Onchan, Douglas, Peel, Castletown and Ramsey.
An organisation already exists for the Island's local authorities, but most of the towns are not members.
Mr Singer (pictured) explains how the association would work:
Plans to boost dyslexia support 'game changing'
Reaction as Tynwald members approve committee's recommendations
Police hope to extend Operation Needle next year
No motorbikes reported stolen over TT period
Victim Support: 'No World Cup match result should put you at risk of domestic abuse'
Charity running campaign during international football tournament
Dyslexia recommendations are 'practical, proportionate and achievable'
Tynwald receives report from committee and rejects CoMin changes
