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:
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Planning Committee due to make decision next week
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
MHK says public's views must be represented
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
Tynwald debates the findings of a probe into its management
'Not appropriate' for gov't to help individuals in struggling hospitality sector
Enterprise minister says other options need to be looked at to support industry as a whole
David Scott and Jean Teare elected to Port St Mary Commissioners
382 ballots were counted giving a 25 percent turnout
Do you have a Guild trophy to return?
