Parking fine notices to be issued by post

Westmeath County Council has confirmed that there is a change to the procedure for parking enforcement in the Municipal District of Athlone-Moate.

From June 15 onwards, parking fine notices will not be placed on vehicles, as per the standard procedure heretofore, and instead fine notices will issue to the vehicle owner by post.

Reminder notices will issue as normal after 14 days, 28 days and 42 days.

"This change to procedure is a short-term measure in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and will be reviewed in due course," said a statement from the council.
