Island 'too dependent' on few industries
The Island's economy isn't diverse enough.
That's the belief of a candidate standing in Douglas North in this September's General Election.
38 year old David Ashford is a Project Manager and Douglas Councillor.
He says he sees his public service as separate from government and thinks the Keys should have a broad range of members.
Mr Ashford says the Island is currently over-dependent on a small range of industries.
