Cark park charges to rise by 7% in Jersey

The government said increased funds would go towards the repair and maintenance of car parks

The cost of parking in public car parks is set to rise by about 7% in Jersey, the government has said.

The Government of Jersey said increased funds would be put towards car park repairs and maintenance.

In February 2023, the government increased its parking prices by about 7.5%.

A single unit paycard will now rise from 97p to £1.04, a two unit from £1.94 to £2.08 and a four unit from £3.88 to £4.16 from 1 May.

The government said Jersey still remained "one of the cheapest places for parking" in the British Isles.

Monthly season tickets will rise from £156.66 to £167.96, and a monthly half permit from £78.33 to £83.98.

New prices for an eco one unit paycard will cost 52p, a two unit £1.04, and a for unit £2.08.

A monthly eco season ticket will cost £83.98 and a half permit £41.99.

Constable Andy Jehan, the Minister for Infrastructure, said the charges would also apply at the new Charles Street Car Park between 08:00 and 22:00 BST as part of a trial.

The government said it was to "help ensure the car park has capacity for the general public, for islanders needing spaces and supporting businesses in town".
