Peel Election: Ray Harmer
Local Democracy IOM
Thursday, 17 April 2025 - 3 minutes
A former Department of Infrastructure minister standing for re-election to Peel Town Commissioners in the local authority general election says keeping 'financial responsibility' has been key to keeping rate increases low for the last few years.
Ray Harmer, who joined the board in a by-election two years ago, hopes to use reserves from making 'efficiencies' to improve children's play areas and for the Marine Parade development.
Residents on the electoral roll will be able to vote at the Corrin Hall from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April.
The other candidates standing are Katryna Baptist, Frank Crompton, Alistair Cubbon-Wood, Stuart Hardingham, Sharon Lambert, Christine Moughtin and William Otieno-Costain.
Mr Harmer also wants to see the local chamber of commerce reformed as well as an online tourist trail around the town.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
