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:
New grading system will 'drastically reduce' police exposure to indecent images
It's hoped change will also speed up prosecutions
Call for referendum on wind farm proposal garners hundreds of signatures
Concerns over bird safety, blade recyclability and Island scenery fuel calls for a public vote
'Several incidents' of littering, damage and graffiti reported on Port Erin beach
Broken glass found in the sand described as 'particularly dangerous'
Poor weather stopped GNAAS responding to four Manx emergencies in the last year
Storms Darragh and Éowyn among those to blame
