Lord Street Car Park To Get Decorative Overhaul

Money has been allocated to the Douglas Development Partnership to finally improve the visual impact of one of the towns busiest car parks.

Money has been allocated to the Douglas Development Partnership to finally improve the visual impact of one of the towns busiest car parks.

The £23,000 project will see the Lord Street car park screened by a system of linked screens with planters and seating sections.

This scheme is the first physical project in Douglas to be funded by the regeneration fund.

The cost-effective scheme is only designed as a short-term solution to enhancing what is a prominent but, until now, visually unappealing site.

Once the site is finally developed the screens and plantation is designed to be easily transportable to another location for continued use.

It's anticipated that the work will be completed in two weeks time.
