End of an era in East Douglas

Brenda Cannell officially retires as MHK

A long-time MHK has officially stepped down.

Yesterday (Tuesday) was Brenda Cannell's last as MHK for East Douglas, a position she's held since November 1996.

She also spent three years as a Douglas councillor.

Mrs Cannell says although taking a back seat, her interest in Manx politics will remain.

A by-election is expected to be held in late November or early December.
