Douglas ratepayers will have to pay 2.1% more in the coming financial year.
The new rate is set at 395p in the pound and is largely down to the reduction in waste disposal subsidy, says Douglas Borough Council.

He says the time may be coming in the near future when the council has to look at reducing some services:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
President of Tynwald Laurence Skelly receives OBE
Energy security likely to be 'major issue' in election
MHK expects gas exploration and net zero to feature in 2026 campaign
