Cuts to the waste disposal subsidy for the coming financial year are set to put around £290,000 on Douglas Council's rate burden.
The planned 64 per cent cut in the subsidy is set to be followed by further reductions until 2018, by which time waste disposal at the incinerator will cost £140 per tonne, compared to the current rate of £35.
Council Leader David Christian says he and his colleagues are looking at ways to minimise what is passed onto the town's ratepayers:
MHKs agree to progress Bill removing Bishop's vote from Tynwald
It will now be signed by Tynwald members before receiving Royal Assent and being promulgated
Manx Utilities workers injured using cherry picker
One is continuing to receive treatment
Government adopts definition of antisemitism
Chief minister will take part in 'Candle in the Window' this evening
Douglas road shut due to falling roof tiles
Granville Street shut until Wednesday
