Sir, - I agree with the promotion of sport, but with the proposed arrangements for the forthcoming cycle event, the organisers have gone too far.
Many people will be trapped in their homes; air and car-ferry tickets may have to be cancelled which could result in personal loss; handicapped people whose only pleasure is being taken out to a lunch date with friends or relatives will suffer; hospital visiting may be impossible; massive loss of profits will result for some business places; one could go on ad infinitum.
Promote sport by all means, but not when the disruption is liable to be on this scale. - Yours, etc., Douglas McCowen,
Templeville Road,
