The central branch of the Liberal Vannin Party will hold its latest meeting at the Christian Science Church in Douglas this evening (Thursday).

South Douglas MHK, Bill Malarkey (pictured), says members of the public are welcome to voice any concerns:

The meeting at the Christian Science Church in Woodbourne Road starts at 8pm.
