A Sligo Councillor has described moves which would introduce a workplace parking levy, which would prevent employers offering free parking spaces to staff as an additional tax on workers.

 

 

 The measure is one of a number being put forward in a new transport options paper.

 

Cabinet is due to meet tomorrow to discuss a range of possible solutions to traffic gridlock across the country.

 

 

The paper, called Moving Together, also suggests the introduction of congestion charges and taxes on heavy vehicles.

 

Sligo independent Councillor Michael Clarke has expressed concern with the proposals due to the lack of public transport in many parts of the North West
