Rates frozen in Port St Mary

More responsibilities, but reduced costs

Rates in Port St Mary are remaining unchanged for the fourth consecutive year.

They remain at 306p in the pound.

Commissioners say new responsibilities have been taken on from the Department of Infrastructure in the past year, including street cleaning, gulley emptying, and maintaining hedges.

Chairman Bernadette McCabe says despite that, reduced costs mean they've been able to hold rates at the same level.
