The introduction of pay parking in Midleton is looking almost certain as councillors seek the views of the local Chamber of Commerce on the subject.

It is expected once the chamber has reported back on its members’ views, councillors in East Cork Municipal District will hold an ‘in-committee’ meeting (without media presence) to thrash out the issue.
