Ramsey Commissioners says no evidence has been found following allegations of corruption within the authority.
During the election campaign allegations of corruption within Ramsey Town Commissioners were made by a candidate.
The authority said that person was spoken to at length and an investigation commenced. The matter concerned circumstances some six years ago.
It added that several witnesses were spoken to, and examination of the Commission’s records were made it was “clear that these allegations were wholly unfounded”.
Outgoing Chairman Robert Cowell said: “as pretty much my last act as Chairman, I am pleased to report that these allegations have been investigated and found to have no substance.
“Public confidence in the Commission is vital if they are to effectively serve the public, and I am now able to hand the baton to the new chair with a line drawn under a matter that was likely to undermine, had it been left without question.”
