City Council should get rid of private parking enforcement in Douglas, Cllr says

A Council report has estimated that €14,000 in annual savings could be achieved by the measures.

Cork City Council should follow their county counterparts in getting rid of private parking enforcement, according to one local representative who has found that the two local authorities have paid more than €90,000 so far this year for the service in Douglas.

Last week it was announced that Cork County Council will not renew the contract it had with private operator, APCOA, to enforce parking in Mallow, and that the local authority will hire its own traffic wardens and carry out the associated administration internally.
