Scrapping a government subsidy for waste disposal will mean higher rates, according to a commissioner.
This week, the government announced it could phase out its £5.7 million support for waste disposal over the next six years.
But John Kennaugh of German Commissioners says that’s robbing Peter to pay Paul – with a saving for taxpayers but a hike in bills for ratepayers.
And he says the proposals are something local authorities across the Island will be examining closely:
Manx Care 'reviewing' findings of landmark UK maternity reports
Inquiries are 'substantial and present important learning opportunities for all maternity services'
Businesses passing on the VAT reduction to families
But families are being more careful with their money
