Temporary car parks on brownfield sites in Douglas have been criticised for ‘dragging the town down and stopping investment’.
Leases for the facilities are supposed to cease after two years, however, some ‘temporary’ car parks have been operating in the capital for more than a decade.
Council Leader David Christian says they look like ‘bomb sites’ and discourage development in the town.
He spoke to Local Democracy Reporter Chris Cave:
