Cork City’s pay parking overhaul slated by residents and business owners

Extended pay-parking times due to come into effect in a busy part of Cork City next week have been slated.

Residents and business owners vented anger yesterday at the new on-street parking regime which will, from next Tuesday, affect parking on dozens of streets between Grenville Place on the west to Liberty St and Grattan St to the east, including an area around the Mercy University Hospital.

Details of the new arrangements, agreed by councillors last September as part of the first two phases of the ambitious City Centre Movement Strategy, were distributed to homes and businesses in the affected areas yesterday.
