Board had to be prudent, says Haywood
The chair of Port St Mary Commissioners says planning for the next financial year has been taking place since last summer.
Dr Michelle Haywood says with no reserves, the authority has had to craft a balanced budget to factor in rising costs.
It comes as the village commissioners announced a two per cent rise in rates, to take effect from 1 April, up to 338 pence in the pound.
Dr Haywood says the board had to be prudent:
