“Parking restrictions apply on evenings and weekends too” as police set to enforce rules today

North Wales Police and Wrexham Council will be working together to ‘to enforce parking restrictions in and around Wrexham City Centre’ today.

The update comes amid a wider nudge from the local authority, “We’re reminding motorists that parking in restricted areas or overstaying the time you’ve paid for in car parks can land you with a fine – including at evenings and weekends.

“This includes any street where yellow lines are marked and particularly in busy areas such as Egerton Street, King Street and Duke Street, loading bays, car parks and the pedestrian areas in the city centre – in addition to the restrictions at popular areas such as Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

“Parking irresponsibly could initially cost you £70 and if you don’t pay, this increases as time goes on.

“The council does pursue every parking fine it issues”.

Recent changes have caught out some residents and visitors, with others pointing out that the apparently lapse enforcement has meant carparks after around 5PM have reverted to previous usage due to the lack of oversight.
