It 'may have had some sewage debris mixed with it'
Suspected raw sewage spotted on Peel Beach over the weekend should give residents cause to support a planning application for a new Sewage Treatment Works there.

The MUA insists what was photographed and shared on social media was not raw sewage but was a 'naturally occurring foam and scum'.
Tim Woakes told Manx Radio the future treatment plant would prevent items such as toilet roll and sanitary products washing up:
