15 January 2015 Have your say on proposed parking policy Dear Colleague, A consultation is being launched today on a draft policy for the allocation and charging for Government car parking spaces in central Douglas. The consultation documents can be accessed here The Office of Human Resources is inviting feedback on a proposal that would introduce fees from Wednesday 1 April of £275 per annum for an allocated space and £220 per annum for an undesignated space. The policy recommends that there be no charge for essential users, the disabled and others such as volunteers and staff who work unsocial hours. It is also proposed that there be some discounts depending on the frequency of business usage. It is intended that the charges will apply to all public servants and Government employees based at locations within central Douglas disc parking zones. It is being recommended that the policy should also be extended to all Members of Tynwald, staff at the Clerk of Tynwald’s Office and members of the judiciary and other Crown appointments. Subject to final approval, a charge will be made to relevant Departments, Boards and Offices, who will then be responsible for recouping the costs from members of staff. The proposals have been drawn up in conjunction with the Department of Infrastructure as part of a package of measures aimed at meeting its budget target. The main aim of the policy is to ensure that the provision of car parking for public servants who are based in central Douglas disc zones is fair, proportionate and cost effective. It also recognises that provision of free car parking for public servants in areas where the public may be charged, is neither fair nor defensible. Comments can be submitted by post or email to: Hilary Leece HR Adviser – Policy & Governance 2nd Floor St Andrew’s House Finch Road Douglas, ISLE OF MAN, IM1 2PX Tel: (01624) 648062 [email protected] The deadline for submissions is 5pm on Thursday 12 February. Following consultation, the Office of Human Resources will: • review all comments received from consultees • publish a document on its website summarising the main points made no later than Thursday 12 March 2015 • amend the revised policy, as necessary • submit the revised policy to the Council of Ministers for endorsement Jon Callister Executive Director Office of Human Resources
