Rates reduction in Port St Mary

Port St Mary rates are coming down again.

The village commissioners have unanimously approved a reduction of 5.4 per cent from April 1, to 285p in the pound.

The reduction amounts to nine per cent when taking inflation into account and the commissioners now hope to progress certain schemes which had been deferred.

Last year, the board announced it was officially in the black after reporting deficits for four years.
