Residents in Peel could be required to pay higher rates to fund functions that were previously carried out by the Department of Infrastructure.
Updates to the highway maintenance charter means local authorities could be forced to provide snow clearing services on top of gully and street sweeping.
The proposals would be introduced by early 2024 but government hasn’t revealed who will front the cost.
Clerk of Peel Commissioners Derek Sewell is worried the move could cause issues for all local authorities across the Island:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
