Mid Ulster District Council has confirmed there is “no facility under the current system” to offer rebates to ratepayers in spite of disruption to services caused by the current strike.
With local services that ratepayers pay for disrupted for three weeks so far as a result of the industrial action, the Local Democracy Reporting Service asked the council if they could expect to receive some form of rate refund.
A council spokesperson said no refund would be forthcoming and explained this is primarily because a mechanism to do so does not exist.
