Isle of Man Government Policy

Allocation and charging for Government Car Parking
spaces in Central Douglas Offices

1st April 2016

2

To: The Hon Clare Christian, MLC, President of Tynwald and the Honourable Council and Keys in Tynwald assembled

Foreword by Hon P A Gawne MHK, Minister for Infrastructure

At July 2015 sitting of Tynwald it was resolved :

That Members of Tynwald accept the principle that Members and public servants should pay for their parking; and that the Minister for Infrastructure should bring the detailed proposals to Tynwald in October 2015 for debate and approval.

This report sets out a Policy for the allocation and charging for Government Car Parking spaces in Central Douglas Offices. It is intended that this Policy will apply across all areas of the Isle of Man Public Service and to all public servants and employees, including Members of Tynwald and the Judiciary. If approved, this Policy will come into operation on the 1st April 2016.

It is recommended that this Policy to allocate and charge for Government car parking spaces in Central Douglas Offices is introduced from April 2016.

Hon P A Gawne MHK, Minister for Infrastructure

ISLE OF MAN GOVERNMENT

POLICY FOR ALLOCATION AND CHARGING FOR CAR PARKING SPACES IN CENTRAL DOUGLAS

  1. INTRODUCTION

Isle of Man Government recognises that many public sector employees are required to use their own transport to travel to work. However, most Departments, Boards and Offices are only able to provide limited car parking for staff.

At the same time, it is recognised that provision of free car parking for staff in areas where the public may be charged to park in order to access public services, is neither fair nor defensible. The Department of Infrastructure has determined that a charge will be made to individual Departments, Boards and Offices in the central Douglas disc zone area for the provision of parking spaces at their premises where office accommodation is utilised.
Accounting Officers will therefore be responsible for applying cross-charges to staff as appropriate, in accordance with the criteria outlined in this policy.

Where parking spaces are provided, the Isle of Man Government is committed to ensuring that there is a fair process of allocation and charging for staff to use available parking spaces.

This policy applies across all areas of the Isle of Man Public Service.

  1. AIM

The main aim of this policy is to ensure that the provision of car parking for public servants who are based in locations within central Douglas disc zones is fair, proportionate and cost effective.

This policy applies to all public servants. For the purposes of this policy, the term ‘public servant’ is taken to include ‘employee’ or ‘staff’ and extends to Tynwald Members, the Judiciary and Crown Officers.

  1. OBJECTIVES

 To encourage the use of alternative means of transport to and from work, including the use of car sharing1 and public transport  To ensure adequate parking for visitors and members of the public
 To cope with car parking when demand exceeds supply  To provide a fair system for the allocation of staff car parking based on need  To apply a fair and equitable scale of charges for staff car parking

1 Car sharing scheme can be found at www.journeymatch.im

  1. ALLOCATION OF STAFF CAR PARKING SPACES

The relevant Accounting Officer will have the responsibility for the allocation of available spaces having regard to this policy, although he/she may delegate the authority to a nominated deputy or other senior officer.

Generally, no member of staff has an implied or contractual right to a car parking space, unless it has been expressly included in their Terms and Conditions of service or employment.

Car parking spaces available for use by members of staff are valuable resources and must be utilised to best effect, having balanced the following factors:

 Priority in the allocation of car parking will be given to those members of staff whose job requires them to travel on official business during the normal working day – such individuals are termed ‘essential users’ under this policy.
 Amongst such employees, there may be further factors to take into account when deciding on the priority and these will include:

o The frequency of travel required for business related journeys2; o Frequency of the need to return to base; o Achieving maximum efficiency; o Other relevant factors which are identified by the Accounting Officer.

Accounting Officers should ensure that there are sufficient spaces available for visitors on official business and that these are not abused by being used by staff. Where there is sufficient capacity at the premises to offer allocated parking to non-essential users, Accounting Officers may allocate further spaces on a first-come/first-served basis.

The allocation of car park spaces will normally be carried out annually and subject to an application process, taking the above factors in to account. A pro-forma application form is attached at Appendix A. The Accounting Officer or their nominated Deputy may re-allocate car parking spaces more frequently to ensure allocation reflects current circumstances. It will be for Accounting Officers to determine how the allocation of spaces is administered in practice (e.g. by issuing permits/booking systems etc.)

Where appropriate, consideration will be given to staff who are disabled and who hold a Disabled Persons parking permit. Consideration should also be given to staff with medical conditions, where their application is supported by their doctor or Occupational Health and approved by the Office of Human Resources as a necessary workplace adjustment.

Each member of staff allocated a dedicated car park space is responsible for ensuring that every effort is made to avoid leaving it unused. All staff must co-operate in ensuring that the use of allocated spaces is maximised.

When a member of staff with an allocated car parking space is absent from the office all day, for whatever reason, the space will be re-allocated for the duration of the absence.
This will include both short-term absences and longer periods of sickness, maternity or special leave.

In some cases, it may be appropriate to designate one or more spaces which can be booked on the basis of business need. This will allow a member of staff who is not normally allocated a car park space to book the space when they require it for use on official business. Where there are multiple requests for the same period, a decision based on priority of the business need, which may include an expected visitor, will be made by the Accounting Officer or nominated deputy.

Where a Department, Board or office owns or uses official vehicles, including pool cars, the Accounting Officer or nominated deputy must ensure that these vehicles have spaces allocated to them.

The use of car parking spaces is at the owner’s own risk and the Department, Board or Office will not accept liability for any loss or damage caused. All employees who use their own vehicles for business related journeys are responsible for notifying their car insurance providers of this requirement.

  1. STAFF CAR PARKING FEES

Departments, Boards and Offices will make a charge for all car parking spaces allocated to staff in accordance with the scale of fees outlined in Appendix B. Fees will normally be deducted from salaries each month in 12 equal instalments normally commencing in April of each year and will be subject to review from
