Clerk of Braddan Commissioners retiring after 18 years in position
Manage episode 513512154 series 3416651
The outgoing clerk at Braddan Commissioners says he believes local authority reform will only happen if Tynwald orders it.
Colin Whiteway started at Braddan in 2007 as the successor to Buster Lewin and in that time has seen the board through litigation, the development of The Roundhouse and new social housing developments.
He believes reform hasn't been brought forward by local authorities because they are 'resistant' to it and haven't thought about the benefits to residents and ratepayers.
Mr Whiteway added that he hopes to leave the next clerk the 'opportunity' to expand and enjoy the position as well as 'improve' people's experiences of the commissioners.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
