Karl Drinkwater is standing for one of the two seats on the local authority
A candidate in the upcoming Port Erin by-election says he would like to see an improvement in the play areas and more facilities for children.
Karl Drinkwater, who's running as an independent, hopes to resolve the campsite problem and bring more people into the village if he is elected.
There are two available seats in the Port Erin Commissioners by-election, and residents will be able to vote from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 17 July at the commissioner's offices.
Mr Drinkwater added that he would support 'accessible' housing for families and young people as well as 'better' social housing.
