Rates to rise in Ramsey

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 rise. It will mean owners of a three-bedroom house will pay around 9.5 pence per week more than last year. Higher disposal charges at the Energy from Waste Plant and the authority’s contributions to the Northern Civic Amenity Site have both been detailed as factors in the board’s decision.
