Peel's rates are going up for the coming financial year, but not as much as they could've done, after the commissioners decided to scrap a number of proposed developments.
A new five-a-side football pitch, basketball court, improved CCTV and disabled access to the Ward Library have had to be shelved.
The town rate has been frozen at 242p, instead of the planned 7p rise, but the waste disposal element is being upped from £128.50 to £152 per dwelling.
