Hopes to end confusion over regulation
The future of a Douglas councillor is due to be discussed further today.
John Joughin has been removed from his position as he was no longer on the electoral roll.
There has been confusion about this regulation, with the Department of Infrastructure saying, following advice from the Attorney General's Chambers, that it could be open to interpretation.
Douglas Council, meanwhile, had been advised the regulation was clear in its assertion local authority members had to be registered to vote.
Either way, Council Leader David Christian says it was not something members have been happy to see happen:
New operator sought for Niarbyl Café
Jury sworn-in for death by dangerous driving case
Jurby Commissioners says it takes anti-social behaviour 'very seriously'
IOM Whitehaven boat service could launch by Spring 2027
