Off-street parking charges increase

The hourly charge to park in Wirral Council operated pay and display off-street parking areas for up to four hours has gone up today by 20p per hour.

That means in all off-street car parking areas where charges already apply, the cost to park for up to one hour will now be £1.20. Up to two hours is £2.40, three hours £3.60 and up to four hours, £4.80.

The charge to park for more than four hours will, as now, be classed as parking for the whole day and is going up to £6 having previously been £5.

The rise in fees is the first for more than three years and represents an increase in line with inflation. It was agreed by elected members in December 2024 and takes effect from June 5th 2025.
