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:
Former DoI minister puts name forward for Port St Mary by-election
Eight candidates are standing to join local authority
House of Keys Middle candidate joins Braddan Commissioners
Alf Caine joins the local authority following uncontested election
Final call for Island residents to share views on autism acceptance work
Government survey to help assess impact of strategy closes tomorrow
