Minister says Garff creation is right decision
Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne believes merging local authorities will be a boost for efficiency and the local community.
His comments follow the news that three Garff local authorities will merge from May the 1st.
The boards of Laxey, Lonan and Maughold Commissioners are to become one single authority, ahead of this year's Island-wide local authority elections.
Minister Gawne believes it's the right decision:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
But health body 'committed to openness and transparency'
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Opportunity to work at 'heart of Island’s constitutional and ceremonial life’
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Investigations continuing after incident which destroyed fire engine
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
Concerns over wind farm guidance issued to HoK candidates
