The highest figure for a year was recorded in 2017 with nine complaints 

Manx Utilities has received 26 complaints of smell from drains and sewage pumping stations in Peel in the last 15 years.

The figures have been revealed in response to a written Tynwald question.

Glenfaba and Peel MHK, Kate Lord Brenan asked the authority how many complaints from the estates in Peel since 2010 - Reayrt Ny Kelley, Reayrt Ny Cronk, Slieau Whallian View and Ballawattleworth. 

The authority says the complaints would have been redirected to the private infrastructure owner and in some instances, calls may not have been logged as the complaint would not relate to the MU's infrastructure. 

So far this year, two complaints have been made, with the highest figure of nine received in 2017.
