Search starts for a new Douglas councillor

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Nominations are being invited from people who wish to be elected as a Douglas councillor.

It follows the resignation of Alan Quirk which means there is now a vacancy in the Athol Ward.

The successful candidate will join councillors Karen Angela and Stanley Cain.

Douglas Council says it wants candidates with vision, determination and a long-term commitment to take the town forward.

The deadline for nominations is October 9th – if more than one person comes forward for the role a local election will be held on October 31st.
