PARKING METER CHARGES
Higher rates for parking meters, announced recently by the Financial
Secretary, are not likely to come into force until later this year, and
the changes will not be applied simultaneously to all existing meters.
The revised rates will be charged when new meters calibrated to
the higher rates begin to arrive and are progressively installed.
In the mean time, the existing rates and hours of operation
remain in force.
The Commissioner for Transport, Mr. B.D. Wilson, said today
that as new meters arrive and as existing ones are converted, the metal
plates on the meters, outlining the rates and hours of operation, will be
changed to make the position clear.
As there are likely to be meters with differing rates and hours
of operation, motorists should examine the metal plates carefully before
using the meters,
Apart from higher charges, the Executive Council has approved
the extension of meter hours up till midnight, and the operation of meters
on Sundays and public holidays.
