It was also stated on Manx Radio yesterday,that the extra road closure time had been "taken into consideration",or words to that effect.Now I wonder who has done that? Certainly nobody who is directly concerned has been consulted,judging by Dr David Stevens' comments.Fortunately,TT marshals are a dedicated bunch,but to ask them to leave work early,and expect employers to play ball,and to expect residents to be even more disrupted, has simply not been thought through at all.Let's face it, local marshals have to be relied upon more than visitors during practice week,so it is going to be very difficult.All this should have been organised over a year ago,when the whole thing was first though about.
Locals have plenty to contend with weeks prior to the TT,with the amount of road works all around the course,mainly patching up holes and levelling manhole covers,which should have been correctly fitted in the first place!
