Sewage treatment facility plans turned down
The Best for Laxey campaign group says it's delighted plans for a new sewage treatment facility have been turned down by the planning committee.
The unanimous vote against the Manx Utilities proposal stated it wouldn't fit in with the tourism and conservation status of the area.
Campaigner Alan Clague says people come to the village for the harbour and beach as well as the Laxey Wheel:
