Juan Watterson addresses public over traffic issues in south

Problems come down to 'bad planning and bad communication'

Rushen MHK Juan Watterson says the recent chaos on southern roads comes down to bad planning and communication.

He says he's been contacted by many concerned constituents about the current heavy traffic congestion in the south of the Island.

A one-way system was introduced between the bottom of Fishers Hill and the Shore pub at Gansey over the weekend.

Drivers from Port Erin and Port St Mary who travel to school or work via Colby and Ballabeg have had to deal with large tailbacks and delays in the morning rush hour.

Mr Watterson believes there wasn't proper discussion beforehand:

Tim Glover spoke to Mr Watterson and asked him the question on many people's lips - is the one-way system going the right way?
