There has been a raft at Laxey since I was a nipper.  Not a new idea, but a simple and  good one. 

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.

PSM had a raft courtesy of the then Balqueen Hydro back in the sixties.

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.

they will be able to sing whey'l meet again  when the creamery pumps the slime out ,and the beach is never gong to be the same 

I see Daphne wants to add to add the Douglas turds now as well by pumping the Garff sewage round to Onchan. What a great time to be putting a raft in so that everyone can swim with the growing population of Douglas brown turbot.

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.

You're going to get a shock when you find out where this 'manure' they put on the land comes from.

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.

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.

He also said the local authority found it difficult to support it due to comments made by the government’s health and safety directorate, suggesting the development would be ‘risky’ because of its location.

After recent Laxey incident, you can see why they wouldn't want to be seen to approve it in any way shape or form.

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/

[Omobono]

how can Manx radio object , there is no one living there , or who would be adversely effected ,  as a Taxpayer  I object to money being squandered on Manx radio , which could be relocated to a shed on the business park and their building sold off for housing development

The attractiveness of the MR site for development may be adversely impacted by the  development they are objecting to.

Pitts and Skinner are at least proving that they listen to what actual Douglas people want in amongst all the other wokes, eco knobs and other bandwagon jumpers who are basically just in it for themselves. 

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 😂
