City motorists facing disc parking hike

LIMERICK city motorists are facing a big disc parking hike but business leaders have welcomed the move saying it will help make shopping more user-friendly.

From July 1, the cost of a disc will rise to €2 from €1.50.

Limerick Chamber of Commerce, which is spearheading a drive to bring more shoppers into the city, said the increase in disc parking must be seen as part of the bigger picture.
