THE first of four Douglas House of Keys requisition meetings will take place tonight (Tuesday) when the candidates for the constituency of North Douglas will face voters in Willaston Methodist Hall.

The candidates are Theo Fleurbaay, Bill Henderson, Peter Hill and John Houghton.

Two more requisition meetings will be staged tomorrow evening (Wednesday) for West Douglas at All Saints’ Church Hall and for East Douglas at the Manx Legion Club, Market Hill.

The six candidates for East Douglas are Brenda Cannell, John Karran, Richard Kissack, Paul Moulton, Geraldine O’Neill and Chris Robertshaw,   

The fourth requisition meeting for the South Douglas constituency will be held next Wednesday, September 25, just two days before the election. Candidates for the two seats are Kate Beecroft, David Cretney and Bill Malarkey.

All four meetings will begin at 7 pm and end no later than 9.30 pm. All of the requisition meetings are expected to be full to capacity, so organisers have advised early arrival to ensure admission.
