FEED THE METER

Those of you who park in downtown Bridgewater will soon have to feed the meter a little more if a bylaw passes second reading.

Town council has some new regulations in the works that will see parking meter fees and fines increase by at least double their current amount.

Metered parking will double to 50 cents per hour.

Violations will start at fifteen dollars, increasing to 25 if left unpaid for more than a week.

Mayor Carroll Publiclover says the changes could see parking revenues increase by over a third.
