Crookall admits department doesn't have money to fix barriers
Replacing broken car parking barriers at Ronaldsway Airport would have cost government more than £200,000.
The Department of Infrastructure says it's money that it doesn’t have.
Thousands of pounds in revenue's been lost due to the barriers being out of action – instead of replacing them a new App based payment system is being introduced.
Minister Tim Crookall says he believes it’s a ‘fairly good solution’ and preferable to having a parking controller in post at the airport:
