Ramsey rates to rise by just under one per cent

Commissioners increase levy for next financial year

Rates in Ramsey have been set at 415 pence in the pound for the forthcoming financial year.

That's a rise of just under 1 per cent.

Commissioners in the town cited increasing costs and a number of improvement projects as reasons for the increase.

It will mean owners of a three-bedroom house will pay around 9.5 pence per week more than last year.
