More pay and display parking in Stornoway

The Comhairle stated this week: “The reason for implementing the order is to provide regular and greater access for the public to shops and businesses in Stornoway Town Centre by discouraging long-stay parking within parts of Stornoway Town Centre.

“At present Pay & Display exists only in the car park at Perceval Square. The new order will allow the Fisherman’s Car Park, the parking area at the Caledonian Hotel and the parking area at the Star Inn to become Pay & Display parking places.

“Non-chargeable areas are to be retained on the peripheral areas of the town centre to be used for long- stay parking.”

Charges for the pay and display areas are:

South Beach St – Parking area adjacent to the Caledonian Hotel.

50p for up to 1 hour

£1 for up to 8 hours

£1.50 for up to 24 hours

Maximum Stay 24 hours

No return within 2 hours

South Beach St – Parking area adjacent to the Star Inn

£1 for up to 1 hour
