Wirral Council have introduced a new experimental parking order to deal with obstructions caused by overnight parkers at a local beauty spot.
An experimental traffic regulation order (ETRO) has been put in place on a stretch of New Brighton's Coastal Drive, adjacent to the New Brighton Dips, a popular coastal beauty spot. The new charges will come into force on Friday, July 8.
To park overnight, from 10pm to 8am, will cost £20 however at all other times parking will still be free. The order will also extend the area that prohibits motor caravans, motorhomes and campervans from parking in the area, called the Dips, meaning that such touring vehicles will only be able to set up camp on the promenade overnight if they pay the £20 charge and park in a designated area.
