It says 17% of its income comes from the quarry in the parish
Malew Commissioners says it has 'major concerns' with Treasury's proposed quarry rate policy.
The local authority says it wants to see it 'removed' from the Rating and Valuation consultation because it could leave residents in the parish with a 12.5 percent rate increase.
It confirmed the quarry rates contribute 17% to its income which it claims is 'hardly insignificant' and disputes Treasury's assessment that the figure is 'minimal'.
Malew Commissioners added that due to the increased number of domestic properties rates income will grow, however the costs associated with servicing these will also rise.
It also believes the proposed changes should not be included as part of the current consultation but should be part of a 'wider review' of the rating system.
