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:
Bird numbers 'humanely managed' at St John's
DEFA issues statement on arboretum cull
Fines totalling £41K handed down for tax and NI offences
11 individuals and 26 businesses penalised
Manx Wildlife Trust: Offshore windfarm ecological assessments 'inadequate'
'We do not agree that such mortality can be insignificant in a Manx context'
