No more NIMBY,s 7 Posted October 12, 2019 Do you think there is even the slightest chance of any kind of workable solution being found when you have Mr Bean running the consultation and the usual small few property moguls ( that’s as pc as I get) responding and lobbying.

Rather than having our "premier" municipalities setting rates far above outlying areas. I know they claim to have amenities etc to run but when you look at the money squandered by the Corpy and Ramsey....unfit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numbnuts 869 Posted October 13, 2019 I'm expecting rates to rise and will be gob smacked if they don't. The current rate and seemingly the new system are very unfair to many . But hey powers don't care about unfairness just what brings them more money and provide less services . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hissingsid 3,356 Posted October 13, 2019 MR Bean...C.Thomas who incidentally is drawing very poor audiences, unsurprisingly. I think number of residents in house or apartment should be given consideration. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kopek 1,940 Posted October 14, 2019 ........but isn't that pretty much as now? No spreading of total costs across the iSLAND? One example would be someone living inthe north or south but working in Douglas would be making more use of the roads but, maybe, paying Bride or Rushen rates ! Fair?
