The cost of parking in some areas of Kilkenny City are set to double, from next Monday.
Parking in car parks and on-street parking will see price rises at part of Kilkenny County Council’s move to ‘manage car parking more effectively,’ ‘deter illegal parking’ and ‘promote greater use of sustainable transport.’
The changes will encourage ‘more equitable’ parking and less ‘inappropriate parking’ according to the council.
Some of the price changes will see one hour of parking at Market Yard car park increase from €1.30 to €2 an hour.
All-day parking at the Fair Green, Dean Street and Wolf Tone Street car parks will increase from €2 a day to €5 a day.
The price of daily parking in Park Magic, pay by app areas, will double, going from €1 to €2 a day.
The price of on-street parking will also increase in most areas. Short term parking in areas including John Street, Bateman Quay and Patrick Street Lower will go from €1.50 an hour to €2 an hour.
Some areas will see new limits to the length of time parking is permitted. On Castle Road and Dean Street it will cost €1 an hour but there will be a maximum stay of two hours.
The current one-hour parking limit on Upper Patrick Street is to be lifted, with a price of €1 an hour.
See this week's Kilkenny People newspaper - on sale tomorrow - for the full schedule of new charges.
