Government to investigate parking issues

Mon, 28 Feb 2011

The Manx government's considering bringing in parking charges in some areas of the Island.

The Department of Infrastructure is setting up a group to investigate some of the issues drivers face when they come to park their vehicles.

It'll be looking at ways to improve provision in some problem areas.

Both on and off-road parking will be reviewed.

The idea is to come up with a long-term, cost-effective plan.

There's a public questionnaire online, where people can give their feedback.

Among other things it asks about disc zones, pay and display areas and park and ride links.

You can find that in the consultations section of the government website.
