Bikers urged not to block prom walkway

Parking changes in place during Festival of Motorcycling

Visiting bikers are being urged not to park on footways on Douglas promenade to ensure emergency access is maintained throughout the Festival of Motorcycling.

The event gets underway on Saturday, with work on the prom refurbishment scheme continuing throughout practice week before being suspended from 24 August.

Parking will be banned along several sections of the promenade walkway to ensure a clear route for the emergency services, but designated sections for bike parking will be available at Queen's Gardens and outside the Sefton Hotel.

Detailed plans of the changes can be found at myprom.im
