Ramsey Marina businessman Robin Bromley-Martin has been cleared of driving on closed roads during Festival of Motorcycling practice.

In a judgment handed down this morning (Wednesday), Deputy High Bailiff Louise Byrne found Mr Bromley-Martin had a reasonable excuse to be on the road and had not wilfully disobeyed marshals’ instructions.

The incident is alleged to have happened on August 20 last year between Ballacrye Road and the Wildlife Park in Ballaugh shortly after the TT course closed at 6pm.
