Peel Election: Katryna Baptist

A candidate in the upcoming Local Authority Election believes there needs to be more facilities for the young people of Peel to try and reduce anti-social behaviour. 

Katryna Baptist, who works for a charity on the Island, says that if elected she would try and make the commissioners more 'transparent' and improve communication with residents.

Residents on the electoral roll will be able to vote at Peel Town Hall from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April. 

The other candidates are Frank Crompton, Alistair Cubbon-Wood, Stuart Hardingham, Ray Harmer, Sharon Lambert, Christine Moughtin and William Otieno-Costain. 

Ms Baptist hopes to use her own experience of dealing with the local authority to improve it, including introducing live streaming.
