Port Erin Commissioners has issued a notice for a by-election for two new members.

It’s been sparked after Commissioner Dawn Sim resigned from her role.

She was elected to the board in 2016.

Chair of Port Erin Commissioners Godfrey Egee said: "Dawn has been a valued member of the board, almost two terms, and has always strived to ensure the board does its best for the residents, businesses, and visitors to Port Erin.

I will certainly miss her views around the boardroom table but I wish her all the very best for the future."
