    5.1. A Bill to rename Douglas West – Leave to introduce – Motion carried The Hon. Member for South Douglas (Mr Malarkey) to move: That leave be given to introduce a Private Member’s Bill to rename the Douglas West constituency; and for connected purposes. The Speaker: We turn now to Item 5, leave to introduce, and I call on the Hon. Member for Douglas South, Mr Malarkey, please. Mr Malarkey: Thank you, Mr Speaker. This is probably the shortest Bill that will come before this House this coming session – I certainly hope. As Members are aware, I was not a Member of the House when the Representation of the People Act 2015 was brought through with boundary changes. When I saw the final boundary change, it came to light that suddenly Douglas South had become Douglas West for some unknown reason. Mr Speaker, Douglas South, the boundary, was always the largest constituency in Douglas, because over the years it has grown. It started off at Douglas Head, going along, taking up Pulrose and Anagh Coar and then, as Farmhill came in and then Ballaughton, the constituency grew to be the largest one in Douglas. Under the latest reshuffle of the boundaries Douglas South did not actually take in any other boundaries. It actually lost quite a lot of its boundary: it lost Douglas Head, Peel Road and Hillside Avenue. Other constituencies within Douglas expanded, including Douglas West, which went further into central Douglas and ended up having a name change from Douglas West to Central Douglas. It is beyond me and I have not been able to get any explanation why suddenly it was in the wisdom of those who were on the committee that looked at it to rename Douglas South ‘Douglas West’, which is not only ..

His straight talking and common sense approach to addressing the real issues has been so lacking in Government for such a long time. Peter Karran Liberal Vannin Party Leader Liberal Vannin THE NEW FORCE FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF MANN www.liberalvannin.im ROY REDMAYNE Your Liberal Vannin Candidate Dear Constituent As a Castletown resident you can once again exercise your democratic right to vote. I am pleased to introduce myself to you as your Liberal Vannin candidate for election to the House of Keys on 23rd November 2006. A 56 year old Manx man, my connection to Castletown goes back to the 1930’s when my father’s family came to live in Douglas Street. The name of my uncle, Douglas Redmayne, can be seen on the Castletown War Memorial and on Sunday 12th November at 11am I will be paying my respects to him. Living and working in the south of the Island after marrying local girl Maureen Montgomery in 1970, we now have three children and three grandchildren. Like many locals, I started my career at Ronaldsway Aircraft Company before joining the Lancashire Constabulary in 1972, where I rose to the rank of Inspector with the Greater Manchester Police before retiring in July 2002. We chose to return to Maureen’s roots and live in Castletown upon our return to the Island.

  • Libvannin Bill Malarkey Q4.Qxd
    Liberal Vannin Party Protecting the Future of Mann House of Keys General Election Thursday 23rd November 2006 VOTE BILL MALARKEY DOUGLAS SOUTH Dear Constituent, Please let me introduce myself to those of you I have not yet been able to contact personally. My name is Bill Malarkey, I am an Electrical Engineer and Company Director. I was born and educated in the Isle of Man. I am married to Carol and have three daughters, Michelle who currently works as an Assistant Social Worker, Paige who is a student in her first year at Park Road High School and Philippa who is in her final year at Scooil Vallajeelt. I have followed Manx Politics all my life and since selling our businesses, I have the time to commit to putting something back into our Manx Community. Over the past year, I have thought very hard about what I personally, as an independent candidate, could bring to government. I came to the conclusion that as one voice I could do very little, thankfully this is no longer the case, as I was delighted to be asked to represent South Douglas as your Liberal Vannin Candidate, it gives me a real chance to make the changes I feel are required to improve the present Government. Changes which I believe are necessary if we are to secure our children’s future away from a legacy of past and current mounting debts. Over the past weeks I have managed to speak with the majority of my constituents and beyond doubt the overall opinion is; IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.
