Drive to St John’s and stop in Peel for an Ice Cream and a nice walk. Or just chill and have a beer. It’s a bit of rubbish The road to Peel is flooded in various places where DOI improved it so I wouldn’t drive to Peel. better to put the recycling boxes out and let the wind do it’s thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a lot of bitterness over a perfectly understandable closure on health and safety grounds. Not saying I agree with it, but it’s 2023 and that is how the world works, so to moan about it is just a bit stupid. No harm done. In an ideal world the staff would have had a break right over the festive period anyway and people would have just had to deal with the disaster that is some rubbish hanging around the house or flat for a few days.

CallMeCurious Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I hear they'll be putting a wind sock up at Kewagiue Hill entrance to warn of windy closures. Good news is it'll be a recycled Christmas stocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charalatan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Massive issues with the recycling collections today. Apparently there is too much recycling to collect that they can’t cope and shite blowing around the Grandstand. But announcement on Facebook that they won’t be picking up from certain routes today as the wagons are full. It seems to be reported everywhere but here. Funny that.

cissolt Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Going to need a bigger digger? I assumed the current digger was hired as part of the contract. Do DBC own the digger? Glad they saved 25k by messing with the bin collections, feels like they really have their priorities aligned with the needs of the people https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/contractors-working-beyond-their-hours-to-clear-smelly-seaweed-from-douglas-beach-660449?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1705234974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 "The report said in ‘certain’ weather conditions like high winds, seaweed had washed back onto parts of the beach and had been left to decompose, leaving a bad smell. The council confirmed it won’t be removing vegetation but will instead install signs to ‘educate’ beach users on the different types of native flora and fauna." Beach users will be educated to use their sense of smell to identify the flora and fauna. Fauna is the animal life, isn't it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think residents will put up with the smell for long regardless regardless of the condescending signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
