Shaws Brow car park plans have been revealed at a Douglas Council meeting.
In this month’s Douglas Council meeting, Member for Environmental Services, Councillor, Falk Horning, shared plans to re-designate six disabled parking spaces in Shaw’s Brow car park as dual use.
The decision would mean both blue badge holders and electric vehicle owners could make use of the spaces; a seemingly controversial proposal.
Discussions along a similar line took place in Ramsey last week, when plans to increase the number of EV parking spaces on Market Square from two, to four, were proposed.
In Douglas, installation and maintenance expenses will be covered by Manx Utilities, at no cost to the ratepayer.
