Company spokesperson confirmed they didn't request the action
The Department of Infrastructure’s parking team has taken enforcement action after receiving complaints about abandoned vehicles in the car park at the Tesco supermarket in Lake Road, Douglas.
Fixed notices have been placed on several vehicles with owners warned that unless they are moved, the DoI will remove them after 14 days.
The department has the power to deal with vehicles considered to be abandoned on any land, not just public roads.
A Tesco spokesperson confirmed to Manx Radio that they didn't request the parking enforcement action.
Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood said: "The Department has a duty to deal with vehicles that are illegally parked, especially seemingly abandoned in car parks.
"We urge vehicle owners to park legally and responsibly so they don’t inconvenience either residents or impact on businesses."
