Concern over September Rally
An emergency motion has been tabled for this morning's sitting of Tynwald (Tues 17)
It comes from East Douglas MHK Chris Robertshaw, who will ask that the Department of Infrastructure be instructed to work with organisers of the Manx Rally, after the DOI refused to sanction road closures on safety grounds, just 8 weeks before the event.
Rally Isle of Man is due to take place between 13th and 15th September.
