Christian seeks 'alternative ways of boosting economy'
It's thought the loss of the TT is costing Douglas Borough Council upwards of £100,000.
The event was cancelled this year and government announced earlier this month the 2021 races have also been called off.
Council Leader David Christian says that decision didn't come as a surprise.
He told Local Democracy Reporter Chris Cave the focus should now be on finding alternative ways of boosting the economy:

Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Coastguard team rescues two-year-old Jack Russell "Teddy"
