Towns without pay parking ‘should stay that way’

Towns in Cork that do not already have pay parking should not have it foisted on them, according to the local authority’s new pay parking policy.

However, money raised in towns through pay parking and fines should be ringfenced for reinvestment in those areas instead of going into general council coffers, according to the same document.

Cork County Council said a draft pay parking management policy for the county will be presented to the next Roads and Transportation Strategic Policy Committee at its meeting in December.
