MHK wants progress
An MHK says he'll propose that local authority reform is investigated by Tynwald every year, unless progress is made.
Former councillor, David Ashford, tried unsuccessfully to establish a committee to investigate the issue during parliament last week, but insists he will try again.
He favours a five authority model for more strategic delivery of services, with authorities for North, South, West, East and Douglas.
Government is committed to 'reviewing an approach and timetable for local authority transition' - so far shared housing lists have been introduced by the Department of Infrastructure.
Mr Ashford says if reform doesn't happen soon, he'll be back:
