More names not on electoral lists
A week after a Douglas councillor and former deputy mayor was forced to relinquish his position, two long-standing Ramsey commissioners have had to do the same.
It’s after it emerged neither Geoff Quayle nor Wilf Young are on the voters list.
Changes earlier this year meant people had to register to be on the list rather than their name be automatically retained.
It meant there were around 2,000 fewer voters registered in time for May’s House of Keys by-elections.
Ramsey town clerk Peter Whiteway says it’s unfortunate but the law had to be followed:
Smile of Mann programme to start in primary schools next year
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
CRHS plans are progressing, insists education minister
