'Community hubs' will be trialled across the Island.

The hubs will provide a face-to-face service, allowing the public local access to a range of government services.

It will be similar to the Island's Welcome Centre - including bus and rail information and the purchase of Villa Gaiety tickets.

The hubs will be piloted in Ramsey, Peel and Castletown later this month.

The first will open today from 10am until 2pm at Ramsey Town Hall.

Details of the other hubs are listed below:

Wednesday 23rd June in Castletown Commissioners Civic Centre

Wednesday 30th June in the Western Wellbeing Centre in Peel
