Two-lane Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 My preference is to pay for the time I use - preferable to the minute. Systems that require me to estimate how much time I need annoy me - because the intent of such systems is to make people pay for more than they use. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of almost 1300 reviews on Trustpilot 95% say its rubbish. I know who I believe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what. People who are happy with things like a parking app don’t tend to bother to review it. People who aren’t (or who can’t work it properly) tend to be the kind of angry people who leave a review. Whats Trustpilot anyway? Somewhere sad people rant about things they don’t understand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 2 hours ago, Cambon said: I just see it as another reason to not bother going to Douglas shopping. The high street will likely suffer. I don't think it will only apply to Douglas. Once they decide it's another money stream I would expect cameras and charging for street parking Island wide. I think that MHKs have forgotten why they were elected. They have forgotten they are there to represent the needs of their constituents. They seem to think they are running little businesses which they have to turn into empires to prove what great business men they are. Forgetting that they produce NOTHING,... They just look for ways to take money from people by charging them for things that people don't want. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 (edited) As "emesde" has pointed out I think this is just the prelude to the government starting to charge for parking on our streets, and as the people who think NPR is being brought in to make our streets safer if you do not think this is going to happen. WAKE up and smell the coffee, This government and therefore us are fucking skint every thing from now on will be digging down the back of the sofa as the public sector try and hang on to all them privileges they assume they have a god given right to, and that us the greater manx public will have to bleed to provide. You know when they decided to sack all bus personal and reapply for you job if it exists, that should be the way of the civil service but the top 15 not being exempt. Sorry if the capitals are in/missing, tell some one who gives a toss !. Edited July 7 by Dirty Buggane 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Every last one of theses cretins currently with their noses in the Keys trough need to be voted out at the earliest opportunity, starting with Cannan. He's a disgrace to Sandhurst where he is supposed to have learnt about leadership, one of its main tenets being to put the welfare of your troops first. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has if the DOI implement a parking app got to do with the chief minister or most of the other MhKs? It’s a minor departmental decision. The fact that our MhKs get dragged into nonsense like this is part of the reason they never actually bring any new legislation or make significant changes to the way the island is operating. As long as the general public expect politicians to deal with dog shit and car parking etc, we can’t complain that the big decisions and policy changes aren’t getting dealt with.

Dirty Buggane Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 The parking app will be all part of the savings must be made at all costs mantra no doubt started from the top ie Cannan. But there ideas of savings is screw the manx public for more money not cut costs in departments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
