Car park users who bulk-buy tickets will pay a maximum of a few pounds for all-day parking following the introduction of a new Cornwall Council offer to reduce parking rates for residents, the council says.

Drivers can now bulk buy ‘all day’ parking sessions through the JustPark App (subject to a minimum purchase of £47).

The council says the new offer will bring down the cost of all-day parking in all long-stay Cornwall Council pay and display car parks.

The daily rate is based on the cost of annual season tickets for either a specific car park or number of car parks within an area. For example in Truro, bulk buying sessions reduces the cost of all-day parking from £8 to £2.19.

While season tickets for a set time period (one month, three months, six months and yearly) are available for drivers to buy on the Council’s website, sessions bought in bulk through JustPark can be used at any point during a two-year period.
