Prisoners on licence can go to work on what is meant to be re-hab but that is not very many.

If you want the real answer to getting more marshals then thats simple. The DTL is one of the largest departments in Government, they have to many staff that do nothing but sit on their fat arses all day doing sod all, get them out to marshall at least they could then say they have done something for the Islands Tourism

Now now Colin I don't think that's called for! The DOT set up the mountain section ready for roads open and for practise to commence with removal of one way cones, I think they'll be upset by your comments I know we see them having their tea breaks but surely their due one like the rest of us. Good thought that marshalling could become part of their job description but some won't be amused !
And it means paying them.
