Parking for Bulls Head top level reduced to $5 a day

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29: The City of Hamilton today announced a reduction in the cost to park on the top level of Bulls Head Car Park and the limited reintroduction of parking vouchers.

In making the announcement, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary to the City of Hamilton, Mr. Edward Benevides revealed, “The City of Hamilton is pleased to announce that as of October 3rd 2011, the cost to park on the top level of the Bulls Head Car Park has been reduced to $5.00 a day.”

Mr. Benevides added, “We continually assess all of the parking rates in the City and looked at how frequently the top level of Bulls Head was being used.

To facilitate the new price, the top level parking meter will issue a different color sticker which will indicate that the motorist has paid to park on the top level.

“If motorists wish to use their Easy Park meters to pay for parking, they should look for 0104 which is the code assigned to the top level of Bulls Head. Please note that the Easy Park meters must be updated in order to take advantage of the new zone.”

Mr. Benevides commented, “Last year we announced the decision to phase out the parking voucher booklets and fully adopt Easy Park meters. Since then we received feedback from motorists who park infrequently in the city, as a result, I am pleased to announce the limited reintroduction of parking vouchers which can be purchased individually rather than in booklets.

“These vouchers are available immediately and only from City Hall. They are $2.00 per voucher and will pay for one hour of parking. It should be noted that there are some retailers around the island who are still selling booklets of the old parking vouchers. These booklets may be in limited supply and are still valid for parking within the City.”

“Over the next few months we will assess the success of these initiatives and look for ways to continue to help motorists with parking in the City. On the issue of parking generally in Hamilton, I would like to remind motorists to display either an Easy Park meter or a valid parking voucher to avoid a parking ticket or being clamped,” Mr. Benevides concluded.
