On-street parking charges in Belfast, Newry and Lisburn are going up from 1 April, deptinfra says
Retail NI, which represents Independent retail in Northern Ireland, said it was "extremely disappointed" by the news.
"This decision was made without consultation with local traders and is the wrong move given the pressures on high street traders and consumers,"He said his organisation had been pushing the department to remove charges for the first hour in the three cities. "They [the DfI] has said it was below inflation but that they need to invest in new calculators because that is not the case," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme.
He said it is disappointing for traders and also for "consumers who are going through a difficult cost of living crisis".Related Topics
