An attempt is being made to streamline Douglas Council and make it more efficient.
At tomorrow's monthly meeting, council leader David Christian will propose reducing the number of councillors from 18 to 12 by the time of the next local authority elections in 2012.
On Agenda last night, he said he also wanted a new structure to be introduced for council business, to replace the present 'outdated' system:
Yellow weather warning overnight for ice
It's in place until 3am
MLC calls for 'wider conversation' on how constitutional changes are made
Mr Clueit says he's 'deeply uncomfortable' that significant changes can be approved with a simple majority
Foodbank 'run off feet' as donations decline
Demand for help from charity has increased
Fire crews respond to 'smoke and chemical smell' in Port St Mary
A HazMat officer had to be called out
