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:
Five comments and objections received over Ramsey flood defence scheme plans
But DOI says a number of informal objections received before plans withdrawn
Manxman sailings cancelled due to strong winds
Morning Douglas to Heysham crossing and return called off as blustery conditions forecast
Water main upgrades planned in Foxdale from next week
Works aim to improve reliability and reduce risk of bursts, with some temporary road disruptions expected
Lezayre Commissioners not taking recording of meetings despite Peel row
It was one of the topics discussed at its public meeting last night
