Great spot to sit & people watch with good food wind direction will be a factor in where the smell is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 if you want to sit somewhere where the smell is Rank then go to Peel the commissioners have created an eating area on the promenade in front of what was going to be the iris pumping station with the clock on top , planted the flower beds painted the walls , installed tables and benches but someone forget to make sure the big manhole covering the sewer fitted properly , the small from there is eye watering ,and despite many reports to the Manx utilities and the commissioners nothing gets done about it , So the stink of the week must go to this part of Peel promenade .

AineM Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 A solution for Douglas Beach would be for the seaweed to be collected and taken away (I'm not sure to where so please don't shoot me), the beach needs to be bulldozed so it is lower at the wall in an effort to stop the sea, sand and seaweed coming onto the new road causing damage. The stones need to be bulldozed to either side of the bay (as before) and the long shore drift barriers reinstated. Why is this not a consideration in order to protect the new promenade? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the weight of the stones and sand you take off the beach. If you put this on the Island, it will make it sink deeper into the sea! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 29 minutes ago, The Phantom said: Lower the beach, so the level of the sea is lower? no, lower the beach so the incoming water doesn't have a nice sand/gravel ramp to run up and drag bits of itself onto the walkway and the prom , if the step up is sufficient most of the sand and stones caught up in the moving water will not be near enough to the surface to make it onto the walkway 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
