paswt Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 perhaps a 4 hr disc zone at the Hospital would be an idea , had to wait until someone left the overflow carpark at "Vagga's " and was as well I'd left for my appointment in plenty of time .

the stinking enigma Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Do our political elite and government fat cats still get free parking? It's pretty expensive parking in douglas if you are working there. Yet there isn't really much alternative for the hoi polloi. Then any alternatives get jumped upon. I think it was the doc fixit that suggested a park and ride scheme somewhere around the hospital. We have the land and we have the spare buses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think the Management staff used to take turns "policing" the entrances to the car parks and parking the dot com van across the entrance to the small car park? Oh yes they did, and if you can be arsed to look you will find previous threads about it on these very board's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It seems a bit dumb them having that one small store based down there. The car parking is inadequate - and the access isn't great. Especially at certain times of the day. Surely they could be encouraged to build a proper full sized store somewhere outside Douglas. Somewhere up near PC World would be the obvious place. And then maybe run the little Douglas site as a 'metro' style store for people who work nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the "Friend's of Shopshite" can stop ANY attempt at expanding Tesco, no matter where or what that may entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
