CITY HOUSEHOLDERS FACING 5 PER CENT HIKE IN REFUSE CHARGES

Date Published: 29-Nov-2010

City householders are facing a 5 per cent increase in waste disposal charges while it's proposed that the commercial rate for city businesses stay the same

Details of the city council's proposed budget for 2011 have emerged a week before councillors hold their first meeting on the estimates

City officials say the 5 per cent increase in waste disposal will cost the average household an extra euro a month

City businesses will be disappointed at the commercial rate staying the same at 66 euro 12 cent as they had been lobbying for a ten percent reduction
