A new forum to enable representatives of large Manx towns to discuss matters of mutual interest, such as housing, could be on the way.
Ramsey commissioner Leonard Singer came up with the idea for an association, which would include Onchan, Douglas, Peel, Castletown and Ramsey.
An organisation already exists for the Island's local authorities, but most of the towns are not members.
Mr Singer (pictured) explains how the association would work:
Reports of people not listening to marshals on day one of MGP
Police issue warning as qualifying underway on Snaefell Mountain Course
Arrow returns to service after repairs
Steam Packet vessel spent several days in dry dock after oil leak found
A Manx bap and chicken katsu curry included in new school menu
Pupils will also have a vegetarian option to choose from
Study finds Isle of Man's clothing offering rates poorly for women
Does the Isle of Man have a weak high street?
