Traders call for city parking incentives

TRADERS in Cork have expressed concerns that theirs is the only major Irish city without a pre-Christmas parking incentive.

The Cork Business Association (CBA) is planning to step up its campaign to secure cut-price parking in an effort to boost Christmas trade.

The CBA said it is not too late for the city council to follow the example of Dublin and Waterford city councils, which have each launched free parking incentives.
