The future of free parking after 6pm in Liverpool city centre could be clearer in a week’s time.
A consultation into the future of on-street parking in the city centre concludes next Monday and could spell the end for late night shoppers hoping to leave their cars in town for free. Liverpool Council confirmed the launch of the survey last month as it looks to develop a strategy to modernise its provision and improve congestion and air quality through the city. The engagement exercise is asking for public views on Liverpool’s controlled parking zone (CPZ) - a regulated area where on-street parking is restricted by law between the hours of 8am to 6pm.
Under new proposals put forward, charges at public pay and display and other parking bays would be enforced between 7am to 11pm. In addition, fees to park within the CPZ would increase by 10p per half hour.
