Central government urged to modernise local authority laws
Sat, 23 Jan 2021
By Chris Cave - Local Democracy Reporter
The chair of Marown Commissioners has backed calls to bring local authority legislation into the 21st century. Alison Lynch says she would support updating the current laws as long as it didn’t have a negative impact on the services provided. Her comments come after central government was urged to review current rules earlier this week. Mrs Lynch believes broadcasting meetings online could boost engagement. Dr Michelle Haywood, the chair of Port St Mary Commissioners, claims the current law prevents virtual meetings and needs changing in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaker Juan Watterson proved a big hit when he read his festive poem at Port St Mary Commissioners’s Celebration of Christmas. He has agreed to share it with our readers:
In the far North of Lapland, in a land full of snow
Father Christmas was locked down with nowhere to go
It was hard to be jolly and do all his tasks
With elves six feet apart and all wearing masks This won’t do said Santa and set out to see
If he could find somewhere else to live, Covid free
