Isle of Man government says it will not fund northern rubbish dump

After Bride commissioners withdrew taxpayer funding, the NCAS board in April notified the government to terminate its lease on the site.

At the time, Mr Crookall said the DoI had sent a letter to the board advising on the process to be followed in the event of a dispute with any local authority.

The letter also stated: “The ministry has no obligations regarding the operation of civilian social facilities and… the ministry will be disappointed if local authorities in the north decide to close the facility.”

Mr Crookall told Tynwald: “The Department has advised all constituent authorities that, in relation to setting interest rates for 2025-26, it would be prudent to take action to cover the cost of operating the site, as well as providing increases to cover inflation and unexpected costs.” costs”.
