Parking charges look set to be brought in at a number of car parks
and coastal locations where they are currently free in Wirral . This is despite 80.6% saying they opposed all the parking plans put forward by Wirral Council . In September, the local authority announced a plan to bring in traffic regulation orders that would see charges introduced at 22 car parks and on roads in three coastal areas where they’re currently free. Car parks where people already pay are also set to see an increase.
If no agreement was reached, then charges would be brought in. Concerns brought up by those opposed included concerns about the impact on local businesses, people parking elsewhere and charges potentially stopping people from exercising and going outdoors. However data published by the council showed no drop in trips in the 25 weeks after standardised parking charges were brought in in 2021.
