(apologies if I've spelt his name wrong) The Isle of Man , democracy and giving the public opportunity to object mean nothing, to them. The access road isn’t broke and doesn’t need extending, widening or retarmaced in 24carat gold leaf. It’s a short pathway which suits a purpose for 4 weeks a year. Increasing, widening etc will involve pointless and environmental vandalism for very little financial gain. However I’m sure between the Starship Enterprise, Department of Incompetence and the Treasury they will between them present a business case gerimanded to suit certain individuals and vested interests, therefore objectors stand no chance at all. Doubtless to say, this little exercise will benefit Government favoured contractors and deplete the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war baby Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The present access road is fine, it just needs a sign instructing drivers, particularly White Van Man to put wing mirrors in. You don’t need them along there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hmmm, maybe a new access road will help to make the development of western Port-E Chee near Braddan Bridge easier, or am I being cynical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Cee Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 We really do need better access to the hospital. The current arrangements are completely inadequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I reckon an enormous Norman Foster designed viaduct between the roundabouts at Meadow Crescent and Ballafletcher like that one in France would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new access road could be used for "drag racing" events at the weekends, when not being used, that would bring in some pennies to off-set the cost of constructing it.

Gizo Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 What’s it actually achieving? There is no economic reason for it. It’ll still bottleneck and you end up driving over those gardens anyway. More unnecessary expense, this administration doesn’t know when to stop. Its like Blair’s government, spend spend spend and no way of paying for it.

CharlieBrown Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The problem with the access road is not TT, its all year round where pedestrians and cyclists emerge from a junction not designed to be a junction into the filter lanes for the islands busiest roundabout.
