The Department for Enterprise is seeking views on the replacement of the TT scoreboard due to the age and condition of the current one.

 

The scoreboard on Glenclutchery Road, originally a mobile structure, was incorporated into the current permanent structure in the late 1980s, the condition of which has gradually deteriorated to the point that the Department carried out significant works in 2018 to extend its operational life. 

 

The DfE said the condition of the scoreboard is now such that planning for a replacement of the existing structure is a priority. 

 

Political Member with responsibility for Tourism and Motorsport Rob Callister MHK commented: ‘The scoreboards are important to many people; they provide valuable information to spectators and teams alike. The Department is fully aware of the place the scoreboards have in the history and heritage of the Island, so we are looking for views and ideas from the spectators, fans and the general public as to what the replacement should be.

 

'This may be simply replacing like for like, or creating something new that incorporates modern technology. The Department is fully open to exploring all ideas and suggestions.'

 

The consultation is open from this Friday 13th December until 31st January 2020.
