"'It is an honour to be representing Victoria Ward. My priorities have always been to really connect with the people and rate payers of Douglas by striving to improve communication between voters and councillors to promote a good community spirit and a good quality of life for all the town’s residents. To deliver a value-for-money rate, to continue to work to improve the town’s appearance and facilities to make Douglas a vibrant, exciting place in which to work and live.'"

"I am delighted to have the opportunity to represent St George's Ward. My mission is to build community spirit and encourage more involvement with decisions that affect the area in which we live. I pledge to listen to the residents' concerns and opinions with a view to having their voices heard on matters arising that effect their area to ensure that decisions made are in the best interest of our residents; to support our elderly and provide opportunities for our children, mindful at all times of the need to be cost effective. I also want to ensure that our residents love where they live and work. "

"I pledge to be approachable, taking a keen interest in individuals' problems, always doing my best to help personally or signposting people in the right direction. I have taken great satisfaction from being able to help people previously during my career. I’m very community orientated and whilst working in partnership with my fellow councillors, would like to encourage more constituents to participate and share their views."

"My mission is to listen and respond to the issues that matter to the people of Douglas; to encourage leaner, more entrepreneurial ways of working; to support town centre regeneration and campaign for new and enhanced leisure amenities for our town."

"I have served as a Councillor since 1985 and remain committed to serving the people of Douglas. I will work towards ensuring the Council’s existing housing stock - especially the town centre flats – is maintained in good order; support the building of affordable new Council homes; and apply my experience to help develop the town's leisure and community amenities.

"

"My values are sustainability, inclusivity and design quality. These will be the values that inform my contribution to Council debate. I believe that Douglas must aspire to be a capital the Isle of Man deserves and can be proud of."

"I intend to work hard to fix issues raised by my constituents, to advocate for them to the best of my ability and to do what I can to solve or alleviate deep rooted problems within the town. We are one of the richest countries in the world and our capital and the state of its people should reflect that."

"The prosperity and wealth of the Isle of Man is dependent on the workers, tenants, families and small businesses of Douglas. The residents of our town deserve an innovative government capable of delivering expanded and improved public services.
