Help for those in real financial difficulties
Douglas Council has says it's clamping down hard on homeowners who won't pay their rates, after a number of properties were seized by the courts.
The local authority currently charges 408 pence in the pound for town residents, and says 99% of them pay up on time.
But a number of rate dodgers - both commercial and residential - have been handed orders in recent weeks, leading to the Council claiming back more than £32,000 in unpaid bills.
Council leader David Christian says help is at hand for those who can't afford it:
'Significant disruption' to drug supply networks but fewer OCGs targeted
Motorists urged to slow down on resurfaced roads
Island starts introduction of digital immigration products
Ratepayers urged to join conversation over NCAS
Firefighters raise £2.7K by completing 'Station to Summit' endeavor
