Andi Nolan says she would want residents to 'feel heard' if she was elected
An election candidate for Ramsey's North Ward says she wants to see more support for local businesses in the town.
Andi Nolan, who owns two businesses, says she won't be 'promising the world' but would try and resolve as many issues raised with her as she can and wants residents to 'feel heard'.
Residents will be able to vote at Ramsey Town Hall from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April.
Mrs Nolan also wants to see rate reductions for businesses during start up periods to try and reduce the amount of businesses closing down.
