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:
OPEL 4 for Noble's Hospital due to 'unprecedented level of demand’
No repayments made yet on £2.2m KWC loan
Joanna Simpson's killer denied parole
Manx Care in 'good state of readiness' for TT
'Lessons need to be learned' from CEO role within Manx Care
