Quayle insists multiple elements impact rates
Rate rises across the Island are in proportion, according to chief minister Howard Quayle.
It follows the announcement that Ramsey rates are set to rise by 9.6% - the highest so far.
This compares to just 1.66% in Port Erin, and 0.5% in Braddan.
Mr Quayle says there are a number of elements to consider:
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
The airline has blamed stormy weather for the delay
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
Boat was later used to smuggle £310,000 worth of cannabis to the Island
CRHS plans are progressing, insists education minister
It's hoped building work could start next summer
Emergency road closure in central Douglas
Diversions in place
