New reduced parking rates for castlebar shoppers

 

SHOPPERS in Castlebar can look forward to more relaxed shopping experience following the introduction of reduced parking charges in the town’s three main car parks.

With immediate effect, €3 will cover all-day parking at Castle Street, Main Street and Market Square car parks.

This is a welcome move from the town’s traders and it is hoped that people can now shop in the county town at their leisure and visit the large selection of shopping in close proximity to these carparks.

The better parking rates came about after a number of traders in the town came together with Mayo County Council to try and make shopping and parking easier in the town.

A statement issued by Castlebar traders stated: 'We have seen many situations in the past where customers are rushing back to their car because time may be out on a ticket.

'This all day parking fee arrangement eliminates the fear of getting a parking ticket and will hopefully mean a better shopping experience all round. We hope this ease of parking fees, along with lots of great value and choice, will see people choose Castlebar as their shopping destination.

'While this initiative is being rolled out on a temporary basis at the moment until December the traders hope it will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
