Car Parking Charges:

The present tariff applicable in all of our charged (Pay & Display) car parks is set at 50p per hour.

All Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Pay and Display car parks will continue to accept coinage at Pay and Display ticket machines, however in order to improve the safety of our customers, we would encourage all users to download the 'Ring Go' Cashless Parking App onto their mobile device and pay for parking with a credit or debit card via this platform, thus avoiding the need for cash payment at a machine.

Electric Vehicle Charge Points

There are a total of 10 double adaptor charging units situated throughout Council car parking facilities; all electric charge points are controlled by private operators, independent of the Council. Where applicable, normal parking charges apply.
