For each observation, I have assessed the number of free spaces available shown in the table below:
I have disregarded my own vehicle, as when I arrived for each survey I parked and have taken photos immediately, therefore it is fair to say this space would have been available. I have also disregarded the vehicle owned by the proprietor of Mad Jack's, as this will be parked at an alternative location during trading days. Both of these conditions have been marked with an *.
The table shows that at the times of observation there are between 4 and 9 spaces available for potential customers to all businesses in the immediate vicinity (3 laybys) including Wicked Wagon @ Mad Jack's. In addition to this, observations were also made further along the quay where spaces are available.
It is estimated that there are in excess of 400 private parking spaces within the immediate vicinity along South Quay. There are also two public pay and display carparks and bus stops within easy reach.
Conclusion
From knowing that our current customers base are primarily working at or visiting other businesses in the area and the survey showing an average of 6.3 spaces available in the 3 parking bays over the period of observations, I do not believe the approval of addition opening hours of Wicked Wagon @Mad Jack’s would have a detrimental effect to parking in the area. It may conversely ease traffic, as there is a facility for food and drinks available in the area instead of people needing to travel elsewhere.
South Quay Industrial Estate has a wide range of potential customers in the immediate area including:
Staff of businesses on the estate including tyre fitters, mechanics, auto electricians, martial arts studio.
Office workers in Quay House and other near-by buildings.
Customers to other businesses such as Manx Gas, Ace Hire and Sadlers.
Boat owners and visitors at the nearby harbour/marina.
Prior to opening Wicked Wagon in 2018, which until recently was located on South Quay industrial Estate, Wicked Coffee (IOM) commissioned market research that identified over 50 businesses in the immediate vicinity and several others nearby. The general response was positive with many agreeing to complete a short survey and subsequently proving to be loyal customer who are continuously asking when the new Wicked Wagon @ Mad Jack’s will be open during the day time to one again support the area.
