Staffing costs among reasons given
Ratepayers in Douglas will have to pay an extra 11 pence in the pound, after the council announced a 2.5 per cent increase.
The rate rise was announced by Council leader David Christian today.
It means the rate will go up to 444 pence in the pound from April, up from 433 pence.
He’s blamed increased staffing costs and external charges for the hike.
Mr Christian says there's no way council could save any more money without cutting services:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
Policy 'reflects the key principles associated with Benedict’s Law'
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
