Manx Gas customers vent frustration

Customers react to gas price increase

A price rise for Manx Gas customers has had a predictably negative response from shoppers in Douglas.

It was announced today the tariff will increase by 3.5%, and the standing charge by 2.4% from the beginning of next month.

The company is blaming cost pressures and inflation.

But bosses say tariffs will still fall below what they were in 2015 - and the average gas central heating user will pay less than £25 more per year.

These gas customers spoken to by Manx Radio in the capital this morning weren't impressed.
