Guernsey port car park may charge

Paid parking at North Beach Harbour in St Peter Port is a step closer after Guernsey's Chamber of Commerce gave the plan its backing.

Proposals for a two-storey car park on the site are included in the Ports Master Plan.

Currently there is no paid public parking in Guernsey.

Chamber President Rupert Dorey said he appreciated that paid parking would concern retailers but the logic of something for nothing was indefensible.

The Public Services Department's Ports Master Plan prioritises building a deep-water berth and improving facilities for freight and commercial fishermen.

Ideas explored in the document include moving the passenger terminal in St Peter Port, creating more parking on North Beach and a cruise liner berth.

That looks like the 'back door' to Island wide paid parking...

Why is it that the well paid always pontificate on the 'commoners' not being entitled to something for nothing?....with all the perks they get (including private parking) it will not affect them!!!! How many empty shops are there in St Peter Port already without putting the 'boot in'??

Just saying!!

That would just fill up all the other Town carparks with Town workers and leave nowhere for shoppers.

we do have paid parking at the airport already

What about the price?

No more green land should be used for car parking n town.we need a carpark in every parish and a regular shuttle service
if this does not happen soon.there will be no Nature left in St Peter port .
