Parking charges are set to increase in Cork city next year but commercial rates will remain unchanged following the adoption of the city council’s 2022 budget on Monday night.

However, some business supports and waivers, which were in place last year during the various lockdowns, are unlikely to be available next year, council chief executive Ann Doherty said.
