Sharp rise in Northern Civic Amenity Site costs expected

The estimated cost of disposing of waste in the north of the Island this year has risen by more than 20 per cent.

Ramsey Commissioner Juan McGuinness has shared a letter from the Department of Infrastructure setting out expected waste costs for the Northern Civic Amenity Site.

Manx Rock is due to take over the Balladoole facility after Ramsey Commissioners stepped down as operator.

In the letter, the DOI says it initially expected local authorities to contribute £600,000 this year - but now calculates they'll have to find up to £750,000.
