PARKING charges will be introduced in Northwich town centre tomorrow, Tuesday.

The new tariffs, announced by Cheshire West and Chester Council in August, come into effect on November 27.

While some car parks - including the Barons Quay multi-storey - will remain free of charge, costs will start at 20p for up to two hours elsewhere.

There are also long-stay parking options for workers around the edge of town. Work began on installing meters earlier this month.

The work began on the same day as campaigners launched an appeal to reverse the charges.

Last week, CWAC announced it would be opening up a car park off Leicester Street - between Northwich Glass and Tyre City - for free long-stay parking.
