Anniversary of the North Barrule Air Crash Today - 23rd April
It's 70 years since the American Flying Fortress came down close to the summit of North Barrule on the 23rd of May 1945 with the loss of 31 airmen. Look up from the A2 today and you'll see the site marked by American Flag at the site, placed by the Manx Aviation Preservation Society. The crash was discussed towards the end of 'Countryside' on Manx Radio this week. Listen here. The Social Club lead a walk to the site at Remembrance time every November - click for video from last November.

Review of Domestic Rating
A consultation on the domestic rating system is now underway. Currently properties are rated through a method which assesses them against their rental value in 1969: a system which is considered outdated and iniquitous by many.
Through the consultation Government are proposing several options including a system in which all properties are rated against their capital rather than rental value.
The impact of changes to the rating system will become more evident as further services are transferred from government to local authorities.
It is likely that there will be 'winners' and 'losers' as a result of a new system being implemented, so the Commissioners encourage residents to consider the matter carefully and submit their views to Government. The consultation can be accessed here and closes on April the 27th 2015.

Commissioners to Share Office Facilities with Laxey & Lonan
The Commissioners will begin operating from new offices at 35 New Road, Laxey during April. The office will move from St Maughold's Church Room to premises in Laxey from which both Laxey and Lonan Commissioners already operate.
The consolidation of office facilities by the three Garff authorities will assist in the management of services such as refuse collection which are already delivered jointly, and will also assist delivery of the new services being transferred from government such as hedge cutting, road sweeping, and gulley cleaning.
Contact numbers and e-mail addresses will remain the same.
The three clerks already liaise very closely and it is intended that the move into 35 New Road will allow relationships between the three authorities to be developed even further; whether that be through joint working or actual amalgamation into a single Garff Authority. The latter is an option that is currently being planned. Once proposals have been prepared they will be put to ratepayers for consideration. ¶ 16:28
