🚗💰 Heads up, Aberystwyth locals and visitors! On-street parking charges are set to roll out along sections of Aberystwyth’s iconic seafront including Victoria Terrace, Marine Terrace, and New Promenade starting Monday, May 18. Ceredigion County Council wants to make parking more accessible for everyone—residents, businesses, and day-trippers alike!
The new charges will be in effect daily between 8am and 8pm, and the council aims to improve the turnover of short-stay spaces and encourage the use of nearby car parks. They’re also pushing for greener travel options like walking, cycling, and public transport. 🌿🚶♂️🚴
Councillor Shelley Childs says the shift is all about fairer access and supporting the bustling town centre. As usual with council initiatives, fees help fund local services and maintain essential infrastructure. Plus, good news for Blue Badge holders—you’ll still be able to park for free with a displayed valid badge!
Don’t worry about fumbling for change; you can pay at the on-street machines or via mobile. If you’re a frequent parker, consider grabbing a season ticket for the council’s long-stay car parks—it could cost you as little as 81p per day! 🅿️📱
