MHK backs new plan for silt disposal
A lack of annual maintenance has led to a build-up of silt in Peel harbour.
That's according to the man charged with trying to sort the issue, Tim Baker MHK.
The latest plan sees tens of thousands of tonnes of contaminated silt being removed from Peel Marina, stored and then used to restore old mine working land on uplands in the South.
The project will involve building a pool on the edge of Peel and storing the material until it can be taken up to The Round Table and the area around the workings at Snuff The Wind.
Speaking on Mandate this morning, Mr Baker said he didn't believe this plan would face problems of spillage of contaminated material which a previous scheme did.
