Yes, church has to be open to the public every day. Someone has to go there twice day to unlock it and to lock it again at the end of the day, check the visitor's book, secure valuables. And of course the nearby residents need to be able to come and go throughout the Saturday.

Congrats. I only just realised you're trolling.

 

 

Now I feel dumb.

Statements of fact. Churchwardens have not been informed of closure or arrangements for handling the traffic. DOI confirmed the road closure but deny responsibility. On the Sunday it's other residents down the road who get trapped all day.

Angelo, are you a churchwarden for Jurby Church?

[Mr Shoe 993]

Actually, I have sympathy for residents (same during TT, MGP, Parish, Southern100, E2E, Rallys, etc, etc)

 

Why do you keep saying "all day"?

Why? It's a church. And it's in Jurby.

[angelo 244]

Exactly. And some cycling club has closed the access road. But everyone willl drive their cars there anyway.

[Mr. Sausages 6,384]

I won't.

It can't take long to check the visitors book these days.

But the roads in Jurby aren't closed on the Sunday, but the Saturday. You can download the details of all the road closures from the Information File on the appropriate page. So the residents can move around on Sunday to their hearts content. In any case Jurby Church isn't even on the course but on a road off it (called unsurprisingly Church Road). It's actually off a corner of the course so there may be limited access anyway, depending on where they place the barriers. And it only affects the Saturday morning from 8:45 am to 12:30 pm - the whole day closures (though they are open from 12:30 to 1:30) only affect the area around Ballaugh Old Church (Ballaugh itself isn't included).

 

When you consider the inconveniences that road closures can cause those on the TT Course and most of the Island for nearly four weeks a year, complaining about a few minor back roads that very few people live on being closed for (at most) a day seems a little excessive.

It's the principle according to llap

Get out of here with your facts, you know that's not in the spirit of Manxforums.

Given that only about 1.5 % of the islands population attend church there really is only so much of an inconvenience it can be.
