Parking charges at Wyndham Street car park are set to be enforced from 1 September, the Vale of Glamorgan Council has announced.

Drivers will be able to park for up to two hours free of charge, then have to pay £2 for up to four hours or £6 for all day parking.

Disabled motorists and motorcycles will not be charged.

Residential parking controls are already in place on surrounding roads.

Last week the Council announced similar plans to introduce residents only parking zones in areas of Barry Island, the Knap, Cosmeston and Ogmore-by-Sea to combat other instances of displacement parking.

Cllr Peter King, Vale of Glamorgan Council Cabinet member for Neighbourhood services and Transport, said: "These measures will help protect local residents from displacement parking in our busiest coastal areas and in streets close by.

"Charges are set to be introduced to that car park and Wyndham Street in Barry at the beginning of September.

"The charges are designed to better manage car parking in Barry town centre.

"They should lead to an increased turnover of spaces, boosting local businesses.

"There continues to be free parking available in both these locations on and off-street."

The Council is also introducing season tickets for regular visitors to our country parks and coastal resorts, which can also be purchased through the website.

These are priced at £50 for six months and £100 for 12 months for chargeable car parks in coastal areas, such as Barry Island and Ogmore-by-Sea.
