Commissioner steps down just months after being elected
A Kirk Michael commissioner is stepping down just a few months after being elected.
Barry Murphy's decision leaves one seat free in the seven-strong area meaning residents there may be heading to the polls next month.
Interested parties should deliver nomination papers to Kirk Michael Commissioners Offices before 5pm on Tuesday, 23 November with polling taking place on Tuesday, 14 December, if the election is contested.
Absent voters are required to complete their application by contacting the clerk to Michael Commissioners as early as 10 days before the election.
