Although parking charges are set to rise across Swansea residents of the city will get cheaper parking than visitors at all council-run car parks. The changes will be introduced from Monday, April 17, when prices for parking will go up and the current £2 all-day parking offer will be scrapped.
People living in Swansea who have a residents' discount card will be able to get a concession using a residents' tariff option at car park pay stations and details on how much residents will pay for parking are available here. Information on how they can access the discounted rates is, however, yet to be released. The council has not increased parking charges since 2014 but said the plans are necessary to enable car parks to be maintained and to ensure they can feature the most modern payment systems for motorists.
Park and ride services in the city will remain unaffected by the proposed price increases and will stay at £1 per car until at least 2024. Parking charges will increase in car parks including Copr Bay South, Copr Bay North, the Quadrant multi-storey car park, High Street multi-storey car park, city centre pay and display car parks, beach and foreshore car parks and Mumbles. Find out how much you will pay at these car parks without a residents' discount card here.
