Edinburgh Councillors Review Coach Parking Plan

0:00Edinburgh City Councilors are set to review plans for dedicated pay and display parking bays for coaches on King Stables Road and Region Road. The goal is to stop buses from parking on busy city center streets and ease congestion there. This fits into a broader coach management strategy aimed at tackling problems caused by coach operations. Officials have already blocked coach access on John Stone Terrace and lawn market and their boost in communication with coach operators and locals on proper street use. The new bays would replace underused parking spots so the change should have little effect on overall availability. Costs would start at 9 pounds 80 pence per hour matching other mid-stay options in the city. On King Stables Road, bays next to Castle Terrace Car Park would run from 8.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Weekdays and Saturdays noon 30 to 6.30 p.m. with up to 10 hours max day. Region Road bays would operate 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. on the north side, max 9 hours.
