- Tuesday, 01 April 2025
Southampton City Council has introduced new parking charges at its sites across Bitterne, Portswood, Shirley, and Woolston. The changes replace the previous two-hour free option with rates of 50p for one hour and £1 for two hours from 8:00 to 20:00. This is expected to raise over £500,000. Traders had opposed the plans, warning it would "drastically reduce" footfall for nearby shops and businesses.
