CHRISTMAS PARKING PROMOTION WELCOME - HUMPHREYS
Cllr Richard Humphreys, the Labour Party Councillor for the Stillorgan Ward, has welcomed the decision of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to give Christmas shoppers 2 hours parking for the price of one in Dundrum, Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire.
“This Christmas promotion, which runs from 15 December to 14 January, will come as a relief to hard pressed consumers as well as businesses in the County” Humphreys said.
“The scheme will operate in the EUR 2.00 per hour on-street paid parking areas in Dún Laoghaire, Blackrock and Dundrum. When a motorist pays for a minimum of one hour’s parking, no enforcement action will be taken until the expiry of at least one hour after the expiry time of the parking ticket. In effect a motorist who pays for at least one hour will get an extra hours parking free of charge.”
“The 3 hour maximum time limit will continue to apply to encourage turnover in parking spaces.”
“I am glad that the Manager has also extended the scope of the scheme which in 2010 only operated on the Dún Laoghaire side of the County, and I hope that this scheme will be a success in making Christmas 2011 more successful for all our citizens.” Humphreys said.
