MANX NEWSCAST: 

  • Castletown Commissioners wants to see financial charges for FoI requests

    Castletown Commissioners is wanting to see charges introduced for Freedom of Information requests after it received 14 in one year. Chair Tony Brown says at the moment the cost of responding is being borne by ratepayers, and he would also like the anonymity element removed from the act. The local authority is planning to ask the Council of Ministers to look into changing the regulations to allow local authorities and other statutory bodies to charge for the service. Mr Brown adds the commissioners are there to 'provide information' to residents and it has 'nothing to hide'. He believes people should be making their requests in writing first, before resorting to an FoI request if the response isn't sufficient. Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 3.8.26 - tax - do we pay enough for the services we want?

    In the latest of our pre-election broadcasts we’re looking at tax. One way to fill the £100m gap in government finances would be to pay more tax, but what could a future government do to boost its income? Tax is seen by many as an inhibitor to the enterprise needed to grow our economy, so tax rises need to be considered very carefully. Find out more about Manx taxes on this week’s Agenda. Over several centuries lower tax and duties have been the cornerstone of Manx economic success but can we rely on that in the future? A very taxing conversation on this week’s show.
