No confidence vote in leader
Commissioners in Port St Mary have voted to oust their chairman after ten months in the role.
Alan Grace, who has served on the board since 2004, was removed from the post following a vote of no confidence.
He has been replaced by advocate Laurence Vaughan-Williams, who joined the local authority in October last year.
Mr Vaughan-Williams described himself as a 'safe pair of hands' until a permanent chairman can be elected at the commissioners' Annual General Meeting in May.
