Low interest in local authority elections not just a Manx problem
A pay packet is not the right way to encourage more people to stand for local government seats.
That's the view of Glenfaba MHK Geoffrey Boot.
Many seats went uncontested in local authorities at the last General Election.
But Mr Boot thinks the problem exists on a wider scale:
Government re-advertising for new Director of Public Health
Permanent role remains unfilled
New Chairman at Ramsey Commissioners
Rob Cowell takes over from Alby Oldham for the next year
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Police appeal for witnesses to Wednesday afternoon's collision
Surge in first time buyers enquiring about mortgages
Advisors dealing with 60-70 requests for meetings each week
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Patient 'did not need treatment from major trauma centre'
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
It says the loan would be repaid over 30 years
