FURTHER to Tommy Ryan's letter regarding the route of the Manchester Marathon.

I live in a cul de sac and am blocked in when this run is on.

However, I am aware when this run takes place as there are signs put up along the route, detailing when and where roads will be closed.

If I plan to go out on the day of the run. I place my car where I can get to it and avoid the route.

Otherwise I plan my day after the roads open.

I have seen and heard the abuse the stewards get from ignorant people because they 'need' to get to the shops or some other pathetic reason.

Keep the marathon here and plan properly.
