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:
Manx Care confirms investigation carried out into claims stroke patient assaulted at Noble's
'Concerns raised about the welfare or safety of patients are taken extremely seriously'
Former Manx Airlines boss 'concerned' over potential easyJet takeover
Airline agrees in principle to £5.7 billion takeover bid
Tynwald's Auditor General publishes annual report
Cost savings of more than £500,000 have been quoted
Public warned of increased risk of wildfires
