An end to free parking in Liverpool city centre after 6pm would be “detrimental” and could impact jobs at small businesses, councillors have warned.
Liverpool Council launched a consultation last month on the future of on-street parking in the city centre in a bid to modernise the provision and improve congestion and air quality. The engagement exercise is asking for public views on the city’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.
