What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New parking charges have been introduced at Hexham’s former bus station, the Priestpopple car park, which is owned by Dysart Group. These charges replace a previous temporary agreement with Northumberland County Council that offered free parking. The new rates start at 99p for two hours and rise up to £5.99 for 24 hours. Dysart Group is preparing plans for town centre apartments on part of the site.
