Parking changes in NI: 'I don't want to get caught out'

Motorists have reacted to changes in how to pay for some parking and who enforces fines in Northern Ireland.

Enforcement for on-street and off-street parking had been provided by red coat traffic attendants.

This was through an agreement between the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) and local councils.

Now blue coat parking attendants will be responsible for off-street public parking in parts of Northern Ireland.

Eight councils have entered a new enforcement contract for off-street parking with the company Marston (Holdings) Ltd.

It will also see the introduction of a new cashless parking system at some council-run pay and display car parks, although cash will still be accepted.
