John Skinner become capital's municipal leader
The Island's capital has a new mayor.
Councillor John Skinner was installed in a special meeting of Douglas Borough Council yesterday afternoon.
The former fire officer will replace outgoing mayor Sara Hackman.
He was elected unopposed in Murrays Ward during last month's local authority elections.
The Mayor says he'd like to see the council making more effort to engage with young people:
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Baptist disappointed with lack of investment in town's play areas
Ferry terminal to become part of wider North Docks transformation
Huge redevelopment project planned for Liverpool
Renewed calls to make it easier for taxis to have CCTV on the IoM
Manx Taxi Federation says it's part of efforts to improve safety
IOMPO will go from 'strength to strength' in coming years says outgoing chair
But parcel delivery will undoubtedly be the focus
