An election candidate for Port St Mary Commissioners says she wants to ensure ratepayers are getting the best value for money.
Sarah Comish, who’s the general secretary of the Manx National Farmers’ Union, is one of eight people standing to join the board in a by-election in December.
Residents will be able to vote for two candidates on December 3, from 8am until 8pm, at Port St Mary Town Hall.
Mrs Comish hopes that, if elected, she would bring a “professional and respectful” way of working with government departments and ministers.
She added that a lot of Port St Mary’s infrastructure needed an upgrade, including roads and footpaths.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to her:
The other candidates standing are Julie Gibney, Michelle Haywood, Ann Murray, Daxaben Patel, Edwin Ryan, William Teare and Matthew Warren.
All candidates standing in by-elections have been invited for an interview ahead of polling day.
