Roxanne Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 A pound for twelve hours parking close by their work? Shut up for christ's sake. Some office workers are paying £10 a day to park. Use some of that massive salary and overtime and cough up Mr and Mrs Plod. FFS. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However all the civil servants & politicians are still getting free parking Because that car park is now subject to charges, just as many other car parks in Douglas are subject to charges. If they don't like it they can park somewhere else that is free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriT Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Devon Watson again proving what a horrible nasty sarcastic little twat he is when confronted by a question from a retired police officer about the parking charges. How did a horrible little knob like this get into Manx politics? Edited April 27, 2023 by BriT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistercee Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Government is encouraging the plebs to adopt "Active Travel" - the Police should adopt it as they may then see many of the minor illegalities they currently "overlook". They are effectively Government Employees and should toe the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 The pay and display is being brought in to stop people abandoning cars there which used to happen, hence just £1 a day. It came to committee at the start of my term but the discussion predates it by a few years. Can’t see a reason why we can’t just give them a bunch of little paper licences for free like we have them to park in town. If they need the space, stick it in the window and happy days.

NoTailT Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 @Amadeus Do you pay for parking in Douglas as a councillor? Do MHK's still get free parking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just leaves the EV hooked up in a free bay all day. That’s what all the other lazy bastard EV drivers do to get free parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
