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:
Damaged crossings to be replaced
The crossings formed part of the prom regeneration scheme
MLC reiterates calls for milestone payments for new parents
Government previously said such a scheme would need costing
What have your MHKs promised you? Douglas Central
Peter Shimmin and Chris Thomas were Elected
Aldi or Lidl on the way?
