Hide AdAn East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesperson said: “We will be raising parking charges in all council car parks and on-street spaces across the East Riding, from 19 May.
“This is the first time they have been increased in nine years. We have always resisted putting up parking charges when other prices have increased.
“However, this is now unavoidable because of the rising costs of providing car parking services.
“All rises are in line with inflation and, compared to other authorities, are still relatively low.
“The increase was agreed in February at a meeting of the council’s cabinet.”
