The Coroners inquest highlighted key areas that needed to be addressed. The following is a summary of the current status of those areas.

1. Some officials and marshals mentioned in the coroners report have made the decision to stand down from the senior positions that they held within the Manx Motorcycle Club and marshals organisation.

2. The Department of Transport considered attaching plans of the prohibited and restricted areas to the road closure order but in their view this would not be practical. However, the plans will however be available for inspection at the Sea Terminal, the Race Office and Ramsey Police station as well as each prohibited and restricted area.

3. A full list of the prohibited and restricted areas will be available on-line, via local newspapers, the TT race guide and will also be distributed at various entry points to the Island including the Sea Terminal and airports.

4. A contract has been awarded to a local company by ACUE Ltd for the marking and signing of all the prohibited and restricted areas as defined in the road closure order.

5. A training package is to be delivered to the Chief Sector marshals and Deputy sector marshals to ensure that there is consistency and continuous monitoring of the prohibited and restricted areas (marking and signage), with arrangements made for police support as and when required.

6. A complete review of the prohibited and restricted areas has taken place.

7. The Chief Constable, Mike Langdon, has been appointed to the position of Chief Marshal.
