Peel Commissioners were divided last night as they discussed the new sewage treatment plant in the Sunset City.
Despite widespread public opposition, board members were evenly split about whether to support the scheme, which would see an open works built near the power station.
Both sides put their views forward at the meeting but, in the end, the debate required the casting vote of the chairman, Rodger Gimbert, who voted against.
He explained how the voting went:
Island falls silent to remember them
Two-minute silence held to mark Remembrance Sunday
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Reduction in overall average since summer
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Deemster brands assault "quite horrific"
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
Plan to furnish new club house with memories
