Douglas councillors have, yet again, hit out at undeveloped brownfield sites in the capital being used for car parking.
In this month’s sitting of the council, members debated parking after planners rejected an application to extend the use of a piece of land on the South Quay for parking by a further two years.
The council’s environmental services committee had written to planners objecting to the application, a position supported by council leader David Christian.
Mr Christian said the use of brownfield sites for car parking ’drags the town down’ and provides no benefit to the island’s capital.
