The change to a new parking payment platform provider came at the same time the Pertorsbough council announced an increase in tariffs by 50p for parking in the city’s car parks. The council is also increasing the fees for the resident and visitors permits.
By increasing the fees, the council hopes to improve its collections by over £300000 per year. This will go a long way to assist the cash strapped authority of which a third will pay for more wardens while the difference will cover some of the city authority’s multi-million-pound deficit.
