THE Vale council has unveiled new car parking charges in the region. 

This will not come into effect until the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted across Wales. 

It was announced in October of last year that the council would press ahead with plans to introduce parking charges. 

A Vale of Glamorgan Council spokesperson said: "Car parking charges are to be introduced at Cosmeston and Porthkerry Country Parks, Wyndham Street, Barry and Town Hall, Cowbridge.
