Board member Ivan Burton says current costs 'unfairly penalise residents in parish
Bride Commissioners is hosting a drop-in session for residents to learn more about the cost of the Northern Civic Amenity Site.
The local authority believes it's still paying too much in contributions to the NCAS - £111,000 a year which it claims is about £600 per household.
The meeting is being held at the church hall tomorrow (4 July) and will run from 4pm until 6pm.
It adds that a petition to try and change the funding mechanism will be available for residents to sign at the session.
Commissioner Ivan Burton says using the rateable value to calculate the cost 'unfairly penalises' residents in Bride.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to Mr Burton:
In response, the DOI said: "The Department intends to bring the Northern Civic Amenity Site Joint Board Order to the July sitting of Tynwald.
"As part of the development of the Order, the Department has engaged with the Northern local authorities and carefully considered the feedback and representations received. While there have been differing views on some aspects of the proposal, all comments have been taken into account during the drafting process.
"Having considered that feedback, the Department remains of the view that the proposed Order provides an appropriate governance framework for the future operation of the Northern Civic Amenity Site. The arrangements proposed largely reflect those already established through Joint Board Orders operating successfully elsewhere on the Island.
"The Department appreciates the constructive engagement of the Northern local authorities throughout this process and is grateful for the time and effort invested in providing detailed feedback."
