I don"t think Howard acting as health minister had authority to support a planning application in this area , and he was probably conflicted , perhaps we can see the health department minutes where this was discussed was agreed if it ever gets to court or a petition of doleance it will have a very interesting outcome, in my opinion it stinks of self interest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair the biggest favour he has done is to virtually disappear from the electorates view since he stood down.

Though the administration may be unwilling to do anything about it if the answer turns out to be themselves. The hospital administrators have a valid reason for attending/ visiting the hospital so why shouldn’t they use the hospital car park? Should they park in Douglas and pay £7 or £8 for a days parking and get a bus up to the hospital? Seriously all of this should have been taken into account when the hospital was planned. A relative of mine was in fairly long time care in a Birmingham hospital and I often went to visit them. OK compared to the other costs ( ferry fares etc) the car parking charges were relatively inexpensive but in absolute terms quite a lot for those visitors who were closer. Intuitively it just seems wrong to charge people to visit their friends or relatives in hospital. Not just wrong,but disgusting when it could aid their recovery. Theres load of land around the hospital which could be used for parking. Would be a shame to lose these green sites but what is the priority ?

Theres load of land around the hospital which could be used for parking. Would be a shame to lose these green sites but what is the priority ? There is plenty of parking at the hospital, it's just not where people want to park. If you put more parking in, you'd have the same problem because a) wherever you build it is going to be further than the existing main car park, which people will prefer to use (see rugby overflow car park) b) the people who can walk further will still choose the closest spots, because it's more convenient/could be raining/whatever reason they like c) more free, accessible car parking spaces will just mean less people get the bus / car share / whatever Either bring in charging or some other form of parking controls (permits, ANPR, tickets, dedicated staff areas, whatever) if you want to address the problems. Unless you fancy turning the whole area into tarmac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
