30 pence increase 'unavoidable' - commissioner
Ramsey Town Commissioners have announced a rate increase of 7.2 per cent.
It's the biggest hike announced, so far, by a local authority for the next financial year.
In 2021 the rate increase in the northern town was four pence - less than one per cent.
Finance lead Juan McGuinness says the commission cannot continue to absorb rising costs:
