Newry and Mourne District Council have set their Rates for 2012-2013
At the Council meeting on Monday 6 February 2012, Newry and Mourne District Council struck its rate to meet the cost of services it provides. They agreed to a 1.99% increase in the district rate. This means households in Newry and Mourne District face an increase of 2.1% in their overall rates bill (assuming Regional Rate increases by 2.2%) – an average of 27 pence per week or £14.50 per annum on a property with a capital rate of £100,000.
The Mayor Councillor Charlie Casey thanked Councillors and Management for their cooperation in achieving a realistic rate for 2012/13 and he said that he was pleased that Newry and Mourne District Council have continuously achieved their objective of striking a rate which is appropriate and realistic.
