DfE plea to help Manx economy over TT fortnight
There's a call for the public to promote TT fortnight this year, despite the event being cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly made the plea at today's government media conference.
It was due to be the start of the annual event tomorrow (30 May).
He says while there's no racing, the Manx economy can still benefit from the two-week period:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
DfE says schemes have been 'generally well received'
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
'Stand Up to Suicide' message continues to be spread
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
Meetings to be held in coming weeks following review
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
Nearly two weeks of action planned for Snaefell Mountain Course
