“BUY 1st Hour, get 2nd Hour Free”
From Thursday 11th June, 2020 to 31st July, 2020 a new parking concession to incentivise business and trade in Waterford City Centre will be introduced. The initiative applies to car parks operated privately and to those run by Waterford City & County Council.
Under the scheme, when a motorists pays for the 1st hour parking, they will receive the 2nd hour free. Pay & Display machines have been calibrated to add the time to the ticket dispensed.
All the usual parking enforcement will apply and all machines will be calibrated to issue a 2 hour ticket when one hour is requested.
