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:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
