LORRY PARKING FEES UP ****

PARKING CHARGES AT THE GOVERNMENT-RUN LORRY PARKS IN NORTH POINT AND HO MAN TIN WILL GO UP FROM MARCH 1.

THE HOURLY RATE FOR LORRY PARKING WILL BE RAISED FROM

ED CENTS TO $1 AND THE FEE FOR A MONTHLY PASS FROM $100 TO $200. FEES WERE LAST REVISED IN 1977.

A TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN STRESSED THAT IT WAS GOVERNMENT POLICY TO KEEP FEES AT LORRY PARKS LOW TO ENCOURAGE MAXIMUM UTILISATION.

HE ADDED THAT FOR THE TIME BEING THE NORTH POINT LORRY PARK WOULD CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED TO USE BY MONTHLY PASS HOLDERS AS NO HOURLY PARKING SPACES WERE AVAILABLE YET.

THE LORRY PARK, OPENED ON DECEMBER 31 LAST YEAR TO REPLACE THE 140-SPACE LORRY PARK AT HARBOUR ROAD, WAN CHAI, CURRENTLY PROVIDES 150 SPACES. IT CAN ACCOMMODATE 192 GOODS VEHICLES WHEN IT BECOMES FULLY OPERATIONAL.
