WHILST congratulating Bolton on another successful and enjoyable Ironman weekend will the organisers of next year's event please make some much needed provision to allow essential carers and services access to closed roads.
The carer for my husband was over half an hour late because she was refused access to the road where we live.
She had to make a long detour round side roads and then walk a long way from where she could park her car.
Showing her badge to the organisers on the closed roads made no impression at all and was not accepted.
I learned later that she did not get to one of her clients at all because of these restrictions
