The increase from £60 is the first in two decades and will help fund repairs to car parks and other parking infrastructure.
Councillors in South Ayrshire have agreed to increase parking fines to £100 after roads boss Kevin Braidwood admitted road maintenance would suffer without the rise. It is the first rise in Penalty Notice Charges since 2001, when it was set at £60.
“One of the ways that the parking strategy needs to work is by people moving once they have had their two free hours or by paying a parking fee. I would fully expect this would encourage people to pay that parking fee. He said: "All the income generated from parking goes back into pothole repairs, car park repairs etc. If we don’t increase the charge and maintain it at level it is at, we will have to make a reduction in services we provide as the revenue isn’t there.”
