A Methodist minister in Douglas is questioning the motives behind a government bill, which would allow public roads to be closed on Sundays throughout the year.
The Road Races Amendment Bill goes to the Keys for its second reading today (Tuesday).
It's been drawn up to allow for cycle racing during the Commonwealth Youth Games in September, as current legislation only permits road closures for motorbike events.
However, Reverend David Shirtliff says the scope of the bill is far too wide:
Remainder of TT 2026 cancelled
Race organisers confirm no more racing at this year's event
Work to prepare TT course road surface cost almost £600,000
DoI reveals figure in response to Freedom of Information request
TT 2026: Further two-hour delay confirmed
Conditions around the course 'need to improve sufficiently'
Mountain Road closed 'with immediate effect'
'Due to current significant pressures on emergency services'
TT 2026: Organisers provide updates on rider conditions
Three riders 'conscious and stable' following Friday incidents
