Local drivers and visitors to Newry have been reminded that they can park for up to 5 Hours for £1 at selected car parks in the city.
Newry & Mourne District Council, Newry City Centre Management and Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade congratulated the Transport Minister Danny Kennedy for the return of the 5 hours parking scheme.
It should be a welcome boast for businesses across the City centre and will have a positive impact for local citizens, shoppers and visitors.
There are lots of reasons to come to Newry, with great shopping, services, events and dining and this scheme will coincide with the city's “Buy Local” message aimed at encouraging people to support all businesses services / outlets within the City centre.
The new tariff has been operational since the 12th April and will apply to car parks across the City centre. The scheme is expected to last for 6 months subject to ongoing assessment.
The five selected car parks are Cathedral and twin storey with 308 spaces, Basin Walk with 66, Canal Bank 2 (Beside Bus Station) with 119, Monaghan Street (beside Dunnes Stores) with 117 and New Street (opposite Sands' Mill) with 44.
This offer is on top of the free car parking spaces situated around the city including North Street Car Park and McClelland Park (Catherine Street)
