Consultation out to close route for active travel only
The infrastructure minister says repairing Marine Drive to reopen it as a through-road would be 'a hard business case to make'.
It comes as a consultation asks for feedback on plans to close the road off to motor vehicles - giving sole access to cyclists and pedestrians.
The consultation will run until 6 April - you can find more information and a link to the document here.
With parts of the road already shut off due to subsidence, Tim Baker says alternative avenues are highly unlikely:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
