Peel Commissioners were divided last night as they discussed the new sewage treatment plant in the Sunset City.
Despite widespread public opposition, board members were evenly split about whether to support the scheme, which would see an open works built near the power station.
Both sides put their views forward at the meeting but, in the end, the debate required the casting vote of the chairman, Rodger Gimbert, who voted against.
He explained how the voting went:
Tynwald approves changes to sitting schedule, including half-term breaks and revised start dates
Measures to avoid school break sittings backed, with earlier October and January starts agreed
Plea to Manx parents to check meningitis vaccination status
It follows the death of two young people in the UK
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Tim Crookall optimistic progress is possible despite ongoing strike action and disagreements over contracts and pay structure
