Disappointment for Purple Helmets
The voice of the Purple Helmets says he’s disappointed the stunt riders won’t be gracing Douglas promenade this year – because there’ll be no roads-closed entertainment.
Derry Kissack says although the troupe will be performing their annual show at Onchan Raceway on Mad Sunday, they won’t be doing their usual act outside Bushy’s Beer Tent.
He says the government has badly underestimated visitor demand for entertainment outside the landmark venue.
And he says it’s not the first time:
Former DOI minister expecting new CRHS to be 'over the £70 million mark'
"Rapid review" into bed capacity at Noble's Hospital
Still 'very low risk' of meningitis outbreak on Island
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
FoI statistics to be published quarterly to improve transparency
