A Ballaugh commissioner says no northern commissioners should sign an agreement over the Northern Civic Amenity Site until the re-use shed is opened.

Paul Weatherall believes the site needs to be reinstated because it provided 'value' to residents and allowed people to dispose of items in a 'responsible' way.

A spokesperson for the Department of Infrastructure said the sites are operated and funded by local authorities and it's up to Ramsey Commissioners to open the re-use shed - which is closed for 'operational reasons'.

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to Mr Weatherall.

Tynwald has approved changes to how the Island's Minimum Wage is calculated and reviewed.

It means any future alterations to the rate of pay will be based on Median Earnings, while a previous commitment to align the rate with the Living Wage will be abandoned.
