Douglas Council says it hasn’t been formally consulted over new proposals which look at restricting overnight parking for large vehicles.
The Department of Infrastructure has sent a letter to local authorities across the Island proposing restrictions on vehicles that are over 1.87 meters high or 5.5 metres long.
Thousands of people have already signed a petition calling for the idea to be scrapped.
Council Leader Claire Wells says she believes it would have a ‘pretty serious impact’ on the city if the plans came to fruition.
