A motion is being put forward to Douglas Council which could allow residents or organisations to submit community petitions.
Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare hopes that, if it’s approved, it would allow communities to run their own events.
These could include street parties and fun days.
Councillor Byron-Teare said the local authority would also be able to offer operational and financial support. The motion will be debated and voted on at its January meeting.
