Pay & Display Machines Covered On Douglas Promenade.

Time has run out for pay and display parking on Loch Promenade walkway in Douglas.

Pay and display parking was introduced last winter as part of a package of measures announced to generate income for the cash-strapped Department of Infrastructure.

It was also brought in as work was due to start on the next stage of the promenade refurbishment, which would have resulted in the loss of disc-zone parking.

That project was subsequently shelved. And the ambitious new £21.3m proposals for a ‘shared space’ scheme, announced this week, include parking on both sides of Loch Promenade.
Now covers have been put on the pay and display machines.

A government spokesman said it was always the intention to end pay and display parking when the summer season started.

He said pay and display parking had been well-received by hoteliers and retailers.

Do you think parking should return to the promenade after the summer?
