Ex-head of road policing weighs in on DoI consultation
A former senior police officer on the Isle of Man believes wider debate is needed about a potential road closure on Marine Drive.
The Department of Infrastructure is considering shutting off the route to traffic, claiming it would support the government's active travel plan.
However, ex-head of the Roads Policing Unit Derek Flint believes that may be a smokescreen for the real matter of road safety.
He says reckless driving on Marine Drive costs hundreds of thousands of pounds:
Red flag stops Senior TT race
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
Fine for pair who brought drugs to Island in campervan toilet
