Are Mountain Road closures harming Ramsey?

A business in Ramsey is calling for ideas, saying a rising number of Mountain Road closures is hurting the town.

Ramsey Shipping Services, based on Shipyard Road, posted a graph to Facebook showing how often the Mountain's been closed for each of the last seven years.

In its post the company says the trend shows a rising number of closures, which it says is hurting Ramsey and making it less attractive to visitors.

It says it's hoping to start a constructive discussion and come up with ideas to reverse the trend.
