Douglas parking to go up?

There's bad news for motorists - with parking costs in Douglas under discussion this week.

Douglas Council will consider proposals to raise prices at its meeting in the Town Hall on on Wednesday.

Drumgold Street and Chester Street car parks would both see significant rises if approval is given.

In both, one and two hour stays will rise by 20 per cent.

Drumgold Street would charge £3.50 for up to three hours - up around 15 per cent - while parking in Chester Street would cost £5.80 for more than seven hours.

If councillors vote to approve the proposal, it'll come into effect on June 1.
