Louise Whitelegg, who is standing in the Ramsey South Ward by-election, says she wants to encourage more “social spirit” and community inclusion in the town, according to Manx Radio and Energy FM.

Ms Whitelegg is one of four candidates for two seats on the South Ward of Ramsey Town Commissioners, the town’s local authority. The other three are Gillian Corlett, Victoria Dunne and Stella Moss, the outlets reported.

If she wins a seat, she would like to look at how the commissioners could make the most of their brownfield sites and empty buildings, according to the reports.

Polling takes place at the town hall on Thursday 3 December, between 08:00 and 20:00. Residents in the ward can cast votes for two candidates.

Ms Whitelegg was interviewed by Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper, whose report was carried by both outlets. Interviews have been offered to every candidate, the outlets said.
