With the Royal Manx Agricultural Show being held at its new location in Knockaloe for the first time this coming Friday and Saturday, Police are wishing to highlight to the public certain arrangements that are in place to hopefully ease potential traffic congestion as much as possible. · The main route to and from the show ground for traffic from the North and East of the Island is via Patrick Road in St Johns. Northern and Eastern traffic should access this via Ballacraine and the Hope Cross Roads where diversion signage is in place. · Traffic attending from Southern routes is advised to travel via the Round Table and Dalby avoiding Foxdale. · There is a dedicated bus service on Saturday serving the show running from St Johns (Tynwald Inn) to the show ground at Knockaloe and then Peel on a rotational route roughly every half hour from 10:10am with the last bus due to depart the show ground at 5:55pm. Full details available via the bus information line on 662545. · The main public car park for the event is in a field to the Glen Maye (Southern) side of Patrick village. Only Disabled and reserved parking is via the main entrance to Knockaloe Drive. Signage will be in place and the show ground entrance is accessed directly on foot through the car parking fields. Police will be on duty to manage traffic flow on both days at car park entrances and key junctions and it is hoped that any delays will be minimal. Members of the public not attending the show on these days are advised, where possible, to avoid the Knockaloe area. ENDS
