Turnout at the Island's local authority elections this week was "entirely predictable".
That's the message from the Chief Minister who says government has failed to meaningfully reform local government:
Elections were held in six areas - Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Patrick, Port St Mary and Laxey; the latter saw the youngest ever commissioner elected at just 18-years-old.
Allan Bell says it's now time for local authorities to engage with central government to ensure better services are delivered to the public:
Public sector pensions increase to be discussed in Tynwald
Minister to be questioned about city centre car park in HOK
Dispose of flammable materials in countryside properly, says Fire Service
40 empty properties in Douglas at end of March
Airport post box being removed temporarily tomorrow
19 nurses awarded Nightingale badges for International Nurses Day
Traffic lights off this morning at St Ninian's
Father and son say goodbye to managing Douglas pub after 10 years
