Charges at council-owned car parks could rise in Swansea to help balance the books, after years of staying the same. Budget proposals for 2023-24 include an extra £350,000 income from foreshore car parks, like the ones at Langland and the bottom of Sketty Lane.
There are more general proposals to increase car parking income in Swansea by £250,000, and raise a further £100,000 by making all non-city centre car parks the same price.
In addition, £100,000 could be generated by bringing in a charge for parking waivers, which exempt individuals or companies from certain parking restrictions - while £57,000 would be raised with the acquisition of a second parking enforcement camera car.
