Chairman puts foot down on plans
Talks of a proposed merger between Port St Mary and Port Erin Commissioners have had a 'detrimental' effect on local politics.
Port St Mary chairman Laurence Vaughan-Williams made those claims after the authority's clerk, Alistair Hamilton, tendered his resignation yesterday.
Though the exact reasons have not been revealed, it is the latest in a line of staffing changes at the board in recent months.
Mr Vaughan-Williams says the idea of amalgamation has sparked fears over redundancies - and that there are more important issues to worry about:
Doctors accept three-year pay offer
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
Annual Tynwald Day celebrations to get underway
