Other festivals reportedly affected
One of the organisers of a major cycling event has responded to negative headlines in today's Manx Independent.
The paper leads with criticism of the Cycle 360 Manx International Stage Race, claiming it will impact a number of other community events also taking place this weekend.
Peel Carnival and Castletown Festival are reportedly set to be affected by road closures, while a vintage fair in Union Mills has been cancelled.
But co-event director Richard Fletcher says there will be a number of access corridors and crossing points:
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
'Angel of Ronaldsway' could be installed at the Manx Aviation and Military Museum
