Ratepayers in some parts of the Isle of Man will start to feel the pinch, now Tynwald has approved a near-trebling of domestic waste disposal charges.
A number of local authorities have cited the steep hike as the reason for increased rates for the coming year.
The rise, along with the removal of a 90% subsidy on the charges, was approved by Tynwald yesterday, following an hour-long debate.
Prior to the vote, Minister for Local Government and the Environment John Shimmin said he believed the move was a fair one:
Mayor of Douglas to continue with 'community engagement' over the next year
Government rebuts claims of 'financial gap'
Referendum Act may need changes says MHK
Sea Services Agreement should be simpler says DoI
Building of Sexual Assault Referral Centre underway
Info Commissioner issues social media advice to public servants
