Two candidates to contest empty seat on Arbory and Rushen Commissioners

Vacancy on Arbory Ward left following House of Keys election

Arbory and Rushen Commissioners will be having a contested by-election in December. 

Two candidates, Mark Firth and Rachael Reilly, have stepped forward to fill the sole vacant seat in its Arbory Ward.

It was left empty by Kirrie Jenkins after her election to the House of Keys in September. 

Residents in Arbory will be able to vote on 3 December from 8am until 8pm at Ballabeg Parish Hall.

The local authority says it will be organising hustings for residents to be able to ask questions and meet the candidates.
