Episode Synopsis
It’s been four years since the last round of local authority elections were held on the Island and seven constituencies elected new members to these boards. But what does it take to be a commissioner or councillor and why should we care about our local authorities? Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper finds out more, chatting to the current Leader of Douglas Council Claire Wells, Garff Commissioner Melanie Christian, Ramsey Commissioner Lamara Craine, Peel Commissioner and former DOI Minister Ray Harmer, as well as former commissioners and current MHKs Michelle Haywood and Lawrie Hooper.
