It'll get binned at some point, as soon as some eejit realises that one of the nippers could get trapped under it on a falling tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaweed can only be used on the land after all the salt has been washed out of it. It used to happen but I'm not aware of anyone doing it for years.

What a great time to be putting a raft in so that everyone can swim with the growing population of Douglas brown turbot. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/environment/sewage-scheme-defies-physics-607529 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think seaweed was banned from being put on the land due to it sloshing around with what comes from the outflow in the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to get a shock when you find out where this 'manure' they put on the land comes from. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ativa Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/council-couldnt-object-or-support-a-planning-application-for-gloccamorra/?fbclid=IwAR19cVHr8jldtifFEpTOaFL3XBd1_2fN9jDtMoe1VU_LYfUxS7pSWJrnVLE Why does this island feel the need to object to everything people want to build? The site has been an eyesore for years. If someone wants to spend money making it better and putting money into the economy then let them crack on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows what a gutless lot they are. We didn’t vote for it, but we didn’t not vote for it either just in case it proves to be a controversial development. So when a developer wants something we don’t have the guts to go against it as these flats will create 15 more ratepayers, but if normal people want some sort of regular bin service they can just bugger off! As Pitts says they moan on about not being consulted by planning and when they are their answer is some sort of cowardly vote where nothing is approved or unapproved. It’s funny that the IOM Today and MR reports are basically the same which suggests some sort of press release to cover their arses too. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/planning/council-couldnt-back-or-oppose-planning-application-607887 Edited April 15, 2023 by BriT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After recent Laxey incident, you can see why they wouldn't want to be seen to approve it in any way shape or form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Funny the article doesn’t state that Manx radio objected to it. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/council-couldnt-object-or-support-a-planning-application-for-gloccamorra/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least it didn’t take you long to get trolled by a Douglas Councillor for expressing that view. I think they’re hoping it will all go away if they keep on closing the forum down to any possible adverse comment 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
