The Commissioners wish to advise that Charles “Buster” Lewin has lost his appeal , against the High Court decision given earlier in the year, to dismiss his claim for damages against the Authority
The Commissioners wished to record their grateful thanks to the staff for enduring this very lengthy legal battle which has been ongoing since 2009, and to state that they will now do everything in their powers to recover the hefty legal costs expended on this unwarranted action taken by Mr Lewin.

Do you recycle as much as you could? Today’s challenge is – to take a good, hard look at every item you’re about to bin, and see if it could for reclamation.
If you live in a kerbside collection area, you might like to refresh your memory… on what can go into those lovely blue and green bins…..you can get all this information, and more, at the Recycle for Mann website here.
If you don’t have kerbside collection, you can still take all sorts of things to the various ‘bring banks’ around the island, or to the Amenity Site. After all, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure….
Can you go a whole day without using a plastic bag? Go on, we dare you! Recently, one well-respected scientist announced that he saw plastic waste as being even more of a threat to mankind than climate change – and that’s saying something!
Plastic bags usually end up in the bin after only one or two uses, but they take money, energy and fossil fuel to make. So they pollute the environment even when they’re being MADE – never mind when they’re thrown away.
Zero Waste Mann will be organising ‘morsbag’ sessions later this year, a chance to use up your old material – curtains, duvet covers, whatever – to make useful, pretty and re-usable bags for your shopping. But for today, why not try saying ‘no thanks, I’ve got my own bag’ when offered one in the shop. Put a couple of spare bags in your car, if you drive, so you won’t be caught without one. And if you manage the challenge, let us know!
Do you find yourself binning good food at the end of the week, just because it didn’t get eaten and went off? Are you sometimes tempted by ‘Buy One Get One Free…‘ offers, even though you don’t actually need the food? We’re challenging you to buy just what you need, no more – no less – and to use every scrap that you can.
Do you have any great recipes for using up leftovers? Please share them with us – we’ll put the best ones on our website so everyone can try them out!
This is a great place to start 🙂
It’s Monday: the start of a new week. Why not kick it off by becoming a Waste Superhero!? Braddan Commissioners and Zero Waste Mann are looking for families or individuals to open up their wheelie bins, and show the contents. Yuk!
But there’s method in our madness – the challenge will be to see if you can cut your wheelie-bin usage, by recycling as much as is possible, thus helping the environment and at the same time earning money for the Parish (bonus!). Are you game? Go on, get in touch and let us see what you’ve got!
