To whom it may concern,

This matter is deeply personal to me and many inhabitants and visitors of the Isle of Man. We frequent these greenways on a day-to-day basis to behold the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) in all its grandeur. Unfortunately, due to the actions of a small minority who misuse these greenlands, a decision has been taken to close them to everyone during TT period.

The local government's decision not only tarnishes the TT experience but also hampers the daily routine of countless individuals who make use of these greenways. The TT is a world-renowned motor sports event, attracting fans from across the globe. An estimated 35,000 visitors fill our hotels and guest houses each year, a considerable number of whom frequent these greenways too. (Source: Isle of Man Government Annual Report 2019)

It's important that we, as a community, don't let the misdeeds of a small number cause such a significant impact on many. Instead of enacting a blanket ban, more measured solutions should be sought to manage this issue.

We urge the Isle of Man government to reconsider their decision and keep the public greenways open, thereby enabling locals and tourists alike to continue to enjoy the TT in all its glory. By signing our petition, you too can make a stand against this action and help save our beloved greenways.

Please, add your name to our cause. Together, we can make a difference.
