East Douglas hopefuls get the chance to impress
Douglas promenade, local government numbers, tourism and the cost of utilities and off-Island travel were some of the key issues raised at last night's Douglas East requisition meeting.
Around 50 people battled their way through the rain and gale-force winds to hear candidates Claire Bettison, Kurt Buchholz, Richard Falk, Jon Joughin, John McBride, Geraldine O'Neill and Cat Turner answer questions from the public.
The meeting was long, given the numbers involved, going on for around two hours.
There was a mixed reaction afterwards to the candidates' performances, judging by those who spoke to Manx Radio:
Murder accused had intellectual age of 'nine-year-old'
MHKs explain their 'no vote' decision in chief minister election
Farmers union declares no faith in DEFA leadership
Major incident declared as crews battled fire
