Liverpool parking charges to rise for second time in 2024

Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 14 Oct, 14:21 · Archive

Liverpool Council is raising city centre parking charges from November 1, the second increase this year.

Liverpool Council is raising parking charges in the city centre from November 1, marking the second price increase this year. Half-hour parking will cost £2.40 and hourly parking £4.60 under the new tariffs, which apply to all council-owned car parks and spaces throughout the city centre. The largest single increase to any tariff is 70p.

Cllr Ruth Bennett, deputy leader and cabinet member for finance, resources and transformation, said the authority was continually monitoring fees and charges to ensure they remained competitive and sustainable. The council carried out a commercial review of charges between April and autumn 2024, including benchmarking work to assess costs against other core cities. Fees had already risen by an average of 11% earlier in the year, though the council says revenue generated by the uplift remains under the core cities average.
