Should the DoI have kept an eye on the way things were proceeding> Yes, they should have looked at what was wrong and gone back to Tynwald. So who's fault was it? Got to be DoI for not looking again at the origional scheme, to iron out the excesses, but we have abunch of people who have made their derisions and are not willing to admit that they were wrong and look again at the mess they have made. This reluctance to admit an error happens time and again in public and private enterprise, when it's the shareholders loss, we are not too concerned but when a public purse loss then we are naturally concerned even if we can't remember our MHK voting for it? So don't expect Sept to make any difference in that! It boils down to who is going to admit to being wrong? Nobody !!! Ok , I was wrong.

We know you've said it before and it was a stupid thing to say then. It is still stupid now. Plenty of very bright people working for government. Plenty of people doing fine. And a good few that could do a lot better. Exactly like it is in most private companies of any reasonable size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving to road and traffic conditions mean that no one should exceed 20 on the prom. Might as well formalise it. It shouldn’t be used as a major thorough fare. It is a major thorough fare though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is how they appeared , like by magic or some pagan stuff. Or some farmers got Auldyn in to do a harvest once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can express my opinion and that may differ from any or everyone else's. I can accept that. But I expressed a matter of simple fact that I have first hand knowledge of. Please accept that.

RoundTheCourse Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just need a graffiti aficionado to paint in the nipples. Then we'd have two magnificent landmarks to spot as we fly in from across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be just the first of many sadly as time takes its toll. In this case around 6 months and a epic fail. Roundel at bottom of Broadway must be lined up to be done in th next few months too as already starting to break up and its only open to one way traffic currently.

ellanvannin2010 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I hear 3 sets of temp light going to be on prom shortly, that will raise @AlanShimmin blood pressure. No mention in the press release of the repairs to the Regent Street crossing being at no cost to the taxpayer, maybe does not apply when the DOI do the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can such a short section of road have so many temporary lights? Are you counting the ones up at Port Jack and the MER sheds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you counting the ones up at Port Jack and the MER sheds? What I was told from a good source is its 4 sets on Loch Prom alone while they landscape the area destined to be the rail track. I'm assuming it might mean from around the Sefton area through to short of Jubilee clock .Apparently the prom walkway is being closed due to needing area for drawing materials from. Yes I know seems a overkill but apparently thats whats happening . Edited June 24, 2021 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
