Sharjah Municipality recently shut down 42 unlicensed private paid parking lots for hiking fees, failing to follow safety standards and violating the municipality regulation to organise their operations.
These were unable to obtain licences from the Planning and Survey Department, and Department of Economic Development, and operation permit from Sharjah Municipality.
Ali Abu Gazeen, director of public parking in Sharjah Municipality, said that the municipality seeks to regulate the operation of private parking in a way that preserves the rights of residents and also ensures the highest standards of public safety in the city.
He added the civic body, therefore, has recently intensified campaigns targeting the investment parking services to ensure they comply with regulations and requirements set up by the municipality to organize their activities.
He stressed that the shutdown of the private paid parking lots was carried out after following a series of procedures.
They were first warned and given a grace period to rectify their situation. Those which continued with the violation faced closure, Abu Gazeen said.
