Transfer of Charges onto Rates begins in earnest...
As announced earlier on our Twitter and Facebook sites the sewerage charge has been set at 61.29p in the pound. This means that a typical property say on Ballagorry Drive or Port Lewaigue Close will have an additional charge of about £135.00 on the rate bill.
This comes fast on the heels of the rises in water charges and waste disposal charges that have escalated in the last four to five years meaning total rate demands have and are increasing exponentially.
The transfer of hedge cutting, gulley cleaning and street cleaning onto the rates will also impact in time; although government has made some concessions in regard to the cost of these which may protect the ratepayer in the shorter term.The above charges are beyond the control of local authorities and are the result of decisions made in Tynwald. Please e-mail maughold@manx.net or call the clerk on 422148, for further information.

Changes to organisation of Northern Civic Amenity Site imminent
The Commissioners have been summoned to a meeting on February the 23rd to discuss the operation of the Northern Civic Amenity Site at Balladoole. Currently the operational costs are paid through the rate-borne contributions made by residents across the north and north-east of the Island. Minister Gawne will be in attendance to represent government.
The Commissioners have long argued that as representatives of those who fund the facility they should have a say in how the site is run and who is awarded the contract to operate it. This will be the argument made by Maughold Commissioners at the meeting It remains to be seen whether government share a similar democratic vision. Maughold ratepayers will be charged £16,000 as their share of the running cost of the site in Year End 2016; that equates to around £4 per household. E-mail your views to maughold@manx.net and we'll put them to Mr Gawne. ¶ 18:32

A2 Coast Road One Lane Now Open...
The A2 at the Ballure Tram Crossing is open. The road is still down to one lane controlled by traffic lights. This situation is expected to remain for several more weeks. The bridge refurbishment will last a little longer, but should cause minimum disruption. The path through to Ballure Glen is closed.
