Today's Motion:
- Restore the 15 minute free parking that was removed with the current parking changes.
- Identify areas where “commuters” who work in town have had their daily parking charges increased by 150% from €2 to €5 (e.g. Fairgreen) and have this increase reduced to a 50% increase at €3 per day.
- The 2-hour parking limit introduced with current parking changes to be extended to 4 hours to give people enough time to do their shopping in Kilkenny City without being put under pressure to get back to their cars and leave (e.g. Jacobs street, Castle road etc).
- A 30 minute free set down period be introduced during school pick up and drop off times at St Mary's Car Park.
- That this Municipal District engage with Kilkenny Access groups to help deal with any issues resulting from the parking changes.
