Castletown Election: Laurence Watterson

from Local Democracy IOM · host Radio Manx Ltd

A candidate standing in the upcoming Local Authority Election says he wants to see Castletown become 'more inclusive' for people with disabilities. Laurence Watterson, who's lived in the town for 45 years, would like to review parking availability if elected and would campaign for better blue badge parking in the area. Residents will be able to vote at Castletown Town Hall from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April.   The other candidates are Tony Brown, Beth Cannan, John Cringle, William Galley, Alan Leonard, Colin Leather, Mahendrakumar Patel and Carol Quine. Mr Watterson also believes more improvement is needed for the town's shopping streets and people need to stop looking through 'rose coloured glasses' about the past. Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
