Ratepayers in some parts of the Isle of Man will start to feel the pinch, now Tynwald has approved a near-trebling of domestic waste disposal charges.
A number of local authorities have cited the steep hike as the reason for increased rates for the coming year.
The rise, along with the removal of a 90% subsidy on the charges, was approved by Tynwald yesterday, following an hour-long debate.
Prior to the vote, Minister for Local Government and the Environment John Shimmin said he believed the move was a fair one:
VAT rate to be cut from electricity bills in line with UK
Garff Commissioners asking attorney general to reconsider windfarm election advice
Fifth candidate declares for Arbory, Castletown and Malew
Tender process for building work on new CRHS hits brick wall
