There's good news this morning for rate payers in Mid-Ulster.
The council has held its rise to 1.46%.
This means a ratepayer in a property with an average capital value will pay £5.63 more each year to fund services.
The council struck its new rate at a meeting last night (13 Feb).
In setting its budgets for the year ahead, the Council increased costs of some £2m, many of which were beyond its control. However, close scrutiny of budgets and a drive for efficiency savings resulted in the council being able to absorb many of the additional costs.
