Melanie Swan contacted us to let us know that she’s going to step down in her role as an IW Councillor. A loss to Island politics – Ed.
"I am sad to have to announce that I will be resigning from my post as the County Councillor for Mount Joy as recent changes in family circumstances and significantly increased personal commitments will involve me in spending more time on the Mainland. I believe that constituents deserve full attention, which until now, I’ve been able to provide them. I’m sending out a final Newsletter to my residents this week, to update them on Ward issues and to provide some contact details to use until my successor has been elected. I will continue to represent Mount Joy on the newly formed Newport Parish Council."
