New parking permit system for healthcare staff

Douglas Council says it'll set up a permit system for a car park in Anagh Coar to stop doctors, nurses and paramedics being issued tickets.

At its last meeting, the Environmental Services Committee heard there had been problems at the Anagh Coar Car Park, which had a two-hour parking limit.

But after hearing staff at the doctor's surgery were receiving Additional Parking Charges, the committee said it would issue parking permits to allow them to park during business hours.

The committee said there wouldn't be reserved parking spaces, and there would be a limited number of permits issued.
