Quayle insists multiple elements impact rates
Rate rises across the Island are in proportion, according to chief minister Howard Quayle.
It follows the announcement that Ramsey rates are set to rise by 9.6% - the highest so far.
This compares to just 1.66% in Port Erin, and 0.5% in Braddan.
Mr Quayle says there are a number of elements to consider:
NSC pool out of action until the New Year
Cracked pipe needs to be fixed and 'water safely recirculated and tested'
Main route through Foxdale closed due to RTC
Emergency services are on the scene
Michelle Mone-linked PPE firm liquidated and unlikely to repay £148m
Judge Sebastian Prentis placed the company into liquidation
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Water and debris likely to impact coastal routes around high tide
