A candidate standing in the Garff Commissioners by-election says he would use his professional experience to support Garff Commissioners if elected.
Richard Taylor, a retiree from the finance sector, believes the main issue facing residents is the Mooir Vannin offshore windfarm which he is opposed to as, as well as a lack of community spaces.
Residents in the Lonan Ward will be able to vote from 8am until 8pm on Thursday, May 21 at the Laxey Working Men’s Institute or Baldrine Methodist Church Hall.
Mr Taylor added that he would like to give back to the community.
