The Capital Municipal Council reviewed in its tenth session, a recommendation concerning the acquisition of three privately owned properties in the External Area of Sitra for conversion into public parking facilities serving surrounding religious and community sites.

The recommendation was listed within the Council’s agenda as part of ongoing municipal efforts to improve traffic management and service accessibility.

The proposal was submitted by Municipal Council member engineer Mohammed Tawfiq Al Abbas, who clarified that the objective is to secure land for organised parking to support facilities that experience sustained daily use and significant seasonal demand.

He said the area had benefited from open spaces used informally for parking.
