Month to go on political boundary consultation

Saturday, 26 January 2013 00:00

There’s just under a month left to express your thoughts on changing the Island’s political boundaries.

The Boundary Review Committee wants to know what the public thinks of having 12 two seat constituencies.

They would replace the current mix of three, two and one seat areas in a move to ensure equality of representation.

A public consultation on the subject will close on February 20th.

Michael MHK Alf Cannan and South Douglas MHK David Cretney shared their thoughts with us.
