Car parking charges across Caerphilly County Borough are increasing, with fewer tariff options available.
The council agreed to raise prices for its pay-and-display car parks as part of this year’s budget-setting process.
It will no longer provide one-hour or three-hour tickets, in a move it said previously would “simplify the offering to customers”.
The council expects to save an initial £45,000 this year with the policy, rising to £174,000 annually in future.
Prices to park for up to two hours will typically increase by 10p, with tickets generally costing £1 to £1.10 depending on the location.
The cost to park for up to four hours will only increase at certain locations – those where the council previously charged £1.40 will have rates increase to £1.50 for that tariff.
However, other car parks which previously charged £2.20 for up to four hours’ parking will not be affected by price changes, according to the new rates.
All-day parking rates will typically increase by 30p, and some car parks which offer annual tickets will have those prices raised by between £15 and £25.
