Last chance to submit boundary review thoughts

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Today is your last chance to submit your views on controversial changes to the parliamentary boundaries.

Under the review committee’s proposals the Island would have a new system of 12 two seat constituencies, each one with roughly 7,000 members.

Both Onchan and the North are set to be heavily affected by the proposed changes.

The North would see Michael and Ayre brought together with Maughold moved to the East constituency.

Onchan’s Birch Hill estate is to be kept in the Onchan urban area, with most of Howstrake including Lakeside Gardens to be moved into the East.

You have until 5pm this evening to submit your views on the changes.
