Local authority looking to fill empty seat on Laxey Ward
Street cleaning, waste collections and budgets are just some of the issues prospective Garff commissioners will have to manage.
The local authority is having a by-election to fill in the empty seat on its Laxey Ward which is vacant following Richard Henthorn's election to the House of Keys.
Nomination papers must be returned by 4 November - if more than one person stands polling will take place on 3 December.
Administration Officer Kezia Sproule-Craine says becoming a commissioner gives people the chance to do something positive for the community.
