Mayo councillor flags firm opposition to parking charge hikes

An elected member of Mayo County Council has flagged his firm opposition to any increase in local parking charges.

Westport Councillor Brendan Mulroy elaborated: "I have opposed parking charges in my home town of Westport from day one.

"Now I am being inundated with constituents giving me their opinion and how much extra it will cost them to park in Westport.

"We have a fantastic workforce in the town who will have to pay extra to work.

"I feel we are taxed enough.  So to put it out clearly I will be consistent in my opposition to parking charges.

"I will be voting against any increase in parking charges in Westport."
