DOI just needs to write out a temporary parking on the promenade footpath order , and a few signs motorcycle parking only in this area , and the tarmac and surface by the war memorial is full of holes and cracks so its not as if the Chinese granite will be marked , , this is another failure by the department to build in provision for events like the TT and MGP after all we have had them for over 100 years ,but if you get everything designed some place in Milton keynes and no one in the local office takes an interest then this is what happens , bloody disgrace really ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something has to change. Fully agree with you there. Let’s see how bad Douglas’ generally appalling business prevention officers will be over the TT period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Bandits said: From one of the TT Facebook Groups. The DOI have already been out making sure bikers can’t park on our hallowed new extra wide pavements. Sadly they forget that there is now nowhere else to park around Loch or Central Prom. So the years of bikes lined up on the pavement are finally over then? I’m not exactly a bike fan, and I’m generally a stickler for rules, but even I think this is moronic. We expect rows of bikes parked on pavements, with leather clad bikers admiring each other’s polished chrome. As long as they’re not causing an obstruction, leave them alone (if they are causing an obstruction, have the bike moved and crushed, obviously) The upshot of enforcing this is that there will be bikes parked randomly in the residential streets, taking up car spaces that are not exactly in plentiful supply… 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly the huge bike park by the Esplanade was totally empty. Anyway the wardens will no doubt be missing for the next two weeks and the police will be more concerned with trendy social media pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Seeing how tone deaf DoI parking enforcement is, they’ll likely be out in force giving tickets. I hope I am wrong but they consistently set themselves low standards and fail to achieve them. Still waiting for replies to emails and being given the “we’re busy with TT” excuse when I follow up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
