Palmer group assistance
When the event is in operation and the roads closed as per the times stated above, we will have the availability to allow public transport access / egress through section of the road closure up until 15 minutes prior to the commencement of the race at 10am. At this point we will be required to commence a full closure with no access until such time as the event has passed and then sections of the roads detailed will be open immediately to allow normal traffic flows.
