Single Garff Authority? Meeting Next Wednesday 7.00 pm Laxey School
Not to be missed!
We need to hear your vision for Garff, should the three authorities consolidate and operate fully together. A single Garff Authority would be one of the largest local authorities on the Island and would occupy the largest geographical area. Working together, Laxey, Lonan and Maughold have already proven to be able to provide refuse collection, hedge cutting, gulley cleaning and street cleaning amongst a myriad of other services. They also pride themselves on the agility and speed of their responses to residents queries and needs.
The proposed single Garff Authority will continue to operate the modern economically efficient model of minimal directly employed staff working with a range of tendered and professional contractors. This is a different model to the other 'large' authorities on the Island.
The choice is yours, get along on Wednesday to air your views or contact us directly to have them represented.
