CHANGES to the areas cover by pay and display parking charges in Stornoway came into force on Monday.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s transportation and infrastructure committee agreed at its June meeting to extend the pay and display car parking in Stornoway town centre into the Fisherman’s car park and areas of South Beach adjacent to the Star Inn and the Caledonian Hotel.
The changes came into force on September 25. No objections were received during the consultation earlier this year. Motorists have been warned that all the parking machines will only take the new, 12-sided pound coins rather than the round version which is being withdrawn.
