The Board of Malew Parish Commissioners is pleased to announce that there will be no increase in rates for the coming year and the amount levied will remain at 152ppp for the fourth year running.

The Board and Officers have worked hard to keep costs down through efficiency savings and good budgeting and without cutting services.

This, along with a modest increase in revenue, has enabled the rates to be kept at the same level even though there has been an increase in costs borne by the Authority in particular fuel, Audit Fees and Waste Disposal charges.
