Pay and display on-street parking planned to free up space in busy suburb

Cork County Council has announced that it will introduce pay parking in several areas of Douglas from May 1.

Pay and display machines will be put up in the area and motorists will have to fork out 80 cent per hour to park on-street.

The move has been made in an effort to free up more space in the centre of the suburb and it is expected to be welcomed by businesses.
