"MHK says DoT in breach of road closure regulations
The Department of Transport is in breach of the regulations which allows it to close main roads for sporting events during business hours, according to North Douglas MHK, John Houghton.

Mr Houghton is reacting to last week's International Cycling event, when main roads around the Island were closed on two consecutive days.

He says this is unacceptable, causing not only inconvenience but loss of earnings to businesses who have to use the routes every day.

Mr Houghton has tabled two questions about the issue for the opening sitting of Tynwald in October for Transport Minister, John Shimmin.

One asks why two days of closures was ever permitted, and the second asks for future applications for road closures for sporting purposes during business hours to be put before the Court for approval.

Mr Houghton says that in these days of increased pressure on the motorist, the need for road closures need to be re-considered.
