Port St Mary Commissioners agreed at their meeting last night, 25th January 2016, to increase their rates by 3% from 306p to 315p in the pound.
Speaking following the meeting Vice Chairman, Rich Ashcroft said,
“This is the first increase in our rates for several years. During that period we have taken on considerable additional responsibilities which have been funded from efficiency gains in how we operate. As our largest costs such as staffing and the disposal of waste continue to rise in line with inflation we, regrettably, require to increase our income to balance the books.”
