Malarkey dismisses parking criticism

Claims plans weren't acceptable for staff

South Douglas MHK Bill Malarkey has dismissed public criticism of his decision to vote against proposals to make Tynwald members and public servants pay for parking spaces.

During the court’s October sitting, he was one of 12 members to oppose the plans which affected government workers, MHKs and MLCs.

But he says it’s not that he’s unwilling to pay, simply that the plans weren’t acceptable for staff.

But what does he make of the public anger over the issue?
