MHK poses question and claims no effort made on local authority reform

An MHK says many Island citizens don't know the difference between local and national government.

Lawrie Hooper made the comments in relation to ongoing efforts to reform local authorities on the Island.

He also believes the infrastructure minister has 'done nothing' in that regard and fundamental misconceptions of the divide between central and regional government don't help the issue.

Mr Hooper also says Ray Harmer has 'taken a back seat' on the subject, and shown 'no willingness' to drive reform on issues like housing at a local level.
