Yes - Hopefully Timbo will hopefully tell us that this will hopefully soon be sorted, in, hopefully, a very short time. .. . hopefully.

Not a fan of this sort of 'look at me' gimmick. It is puzzling why the DoI haven't done this road yet as they had money in the last budget I believe? @Stu Peters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Sunak going on a 'Sunak's useless!" march. I'm pretty sure she's broken the law doing that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure she's broken the law doing that too. Which law? I'm looking forward to her geraniums brightening up the road if it hasn't been resurfaced later this year. We seem to be able to find the money to resurface bits and pieces of the TT Course but little else. My road took 2 years to fill the pot holes after I reported it to Onchan Commissioners.

Danger to road users and pedestrians. How do flowers do that? Surely they just get flattened under tires. Tires that dip into those holes and the tracking that gets screwed up as a consequence? Honestly, planting some flowers in the holes to highlight a problem isn't the problem here. It's the DOI not having sorted or maintained the road over the last few years. Trash the DOI, Albert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
