MHK to host public meetings on parking

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

Motorists will have the opportunity to have their voices heard on the contentious issue of residential parking charges.

Douglas West MHK Chris Thomas is hosting a number of meetings with the introduction of the new £25 charge set to be the main talking point.

It's seen as a policy discussion on behalf of the Department of Infrastructure which recently announced a raft of new money saving measures.

Other questions will centre on whether or not disc zones should be altered, changes to road markings and signage and how longer term and temporary permits are issued and renewed.

The first meeting will be at All Saints Church in Douglas a week on Wednesday.
