Greens say that new residents' parking rules will be more expensive for some residents

15 March 2018

Green Party councillors say that new arrangements for visitors' permits will bring extra costs for some residents. The residents' parking system is currently administered by Lancaster City Council. However, from April 1st it will be taken over by Lancashire County Council. As part of the new arrangements, the County Council will be introducing visitors' permits at £25 each. This will soon replace the current system where people can buy cards with 30 individual uses - at 10p a time. City councillor Jon Barry said:
"For some people, the new visitors' permits will be much easier and we welcome their introduction. However, for people who do not have many visitors, it would be much cheaper to carry on with the current system of multi-use cards. If people want to cater for two visiting cars at any one time, then the new system will cost them £50. We would like people to have the choice between the single visitors' permits and the multi-use cards."
