Braddan Commissioner keen to see improvements
A commissioner says commuters are 'annoyed and frustrated' with congestion along the TT access road.
Andrew Jessopp, chairman of Braddan Parish Commissioners, says ratepayers have complained of 'losing an hour of their lives' being stuck in traffic there.
The Department of Infrastructure has promised to replace the current route, with a two-way carriageway by 2022.
Mr Jessopp's authority has held talks with the department over the prospect of a new route, and is eager to see something done sooner rather than later.
He's glad the department is planning for change, but is concerned it'll come too late, with proposals for new housing in the area 'likely to place further stress on the route'.
Local Democracy Reporter Ewan Gawne asked Mr Jessopp when the public could expect to see changes made:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
