Commissioner to resign over Laxey sewage plans

A Garff commissioner says he'll resign after the board backed new sewage proposals for the area.

At the last meeting of the local authority, board members voted to support a planning application from Manx Utilities for a sewage treatment works, five pumping stations, and pipelines across Laxey and Baldrine.

After the decision was taken, Stewart Clague announced he'd resign over the issue - saying it would allow partly-treated sewage and chemicals be dumped in Laxey Bay.

He'd previously stepped down from the board before, in 2018.
