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:
DHSC looking to 'map clear way forward' over bed shortages
Minister meets with MSC after senior medical staff raise alarm
Windowsill warning after sun causes fire
Firefighters tackle small weekend blaze
Senior doctors and consultants call for intervention amid 'critical shortfall in bed capacity' at Noble's Hospital
Medical Staff Committee issues plea for support, claiming physicians are suffering "deep psychological distress"
Rolling delays see Manxman sailings cancelled
Knock-on effect of weather disruption leads to scrapping of Heysham crossings
