Minister to return with proposal next month
Tynwald members will get another chance to vote on paying for parking spaces next month – after Legislative Council members defeated proposals last night.
During Tuesday’s sitting, members were asked to approve Department of Infrastructure plans to have all staff and members pay for their parking spaces in places where the public would normally have to.
After an hour and a half of discussion, the House of Keys approved the measures (17 for, six against): only to see the Legislative Council vote against them (three for, six against).
Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne, who’ll bring the item back for a combined vote next month, wasn’t shy about venting his frustration during the debate:
Medical Staff Committee claims vote of no confidence led to leadership changes at Manx Care
Electronic payment cards and vouchers among alternatives to MiCard under consideration
Tuesday sailings changed due to Manxman maintenance
47 buildings in the south waiting for protected status assessment since 2013
Nominations open to fill on seat on Douglas Council's North Ward
