The cost of running a pavement cafe in Douglas is set to triple this year.
Douglas council is considering an increase in licence fees for businesses which provide outdoor cafe seating, from £110 to £300.
There's some good news for newcomers though.
If they apply before an annual deadline, they won't have to pay a one-off registration sum of £190.
The council says the extra charge will help fund street cleaning.
