Marshals disappointed not to be consulted

by isleofman.com 24th November 2009

TT and MGP marshals say they haven't been asked for their views on proposals to close the Island's roads for racing on Sundays.

The Department of Tourism has unveiled proposals to change the 1982 Road Races Act to allow for motorsport events to be scheduled on Sundays across the Island.

The aim is to attract visitors for weekend car and motorbike rallies.

At present, delayed TT and MGP races can be run on Sundays, but those events cannot otherwise be staged that day.

Bill Carden from the Marshals' Association says they weren't pleased to hear about the proposals for the first time in the media:
