Braddan rates see 36 per cent rise

Braddan commissioners say they're raising rates by 36.5 per cent this year.

The eye-watering increase will see rates jump from last year's 257p in the pound to 351p.

The local authority says it needs extra cash to pay for the recently-completed Roundhouse as well as rises in energy and waste costs.

Chairman, Andrew Jessopp says the commissioners have had to make some tough decisions but feel that it is a realistic budget.
