Ulla JacksonBelieve it or not it is Palma council's job to work for Palma residents and put their interests first, not tourists or rich northern European second home owners who spend a few weeks/months here.
Zoltan TeglasWell here we go. Complaining about rental cars and now create 26 new carparks! Something is telling me it's for pleasing the locals using their 2-3 cars per families who drive in to work or shopping.
These should be for residents. The council should be creating a good park n ride scheme on the industrial estates with frequent buses. Like just about every other city in Europe
Not entirely sure that with all that's needing to be done in Palma building 26 new car parks would be on my immediate agenda. And why use PPP? Cannot the Council simply sub-contract the whole lot and stand away? So not a penny of tax payers funds is needed for the project.
