Chair Tony Brown says he hopes it will make the town 'more successful'
Castletown Commissioners is introducing new coach parking spaces in the town for cruise ship visitors.
The local authority now has four permanent coach spaces, one for 'mini' coaches which he says will help make the town 'successful' and support the traders.
It hopes the new additions, which also include using the layby outside the town hall during peak season, will make a 'big difference'.
Chair Tony Brown says a number of off-island operators had raised concerns to the board about the lack of space during busy times.
