Drivers are set to pay more for parking across several sites in Dundee from April.

Dundee City Council has revealed several charges are set to rise as part of its 2024/25 budget.

A number of other costs for residents – such as garden waste permits – are also set to go up yet again.

The details have been set out in budget papers going before councillors this Thursday, where the council will have to find ways of plugging a financial gap of more than £20 million.

It comes after the local authority started enforcing a ban on pavement parking in Dundee on Monday.

Cost of Dundee garden waste permit to rise again in 2025

Meanwhile, the cost of a garden waste permit is set to rise yet again from March 2025.

The council has already agreed on a rise to £45 for this year, but the documents show this is set to go up to £47.50 from 2025.

The permit was introduced in 2021 with a cost of £35.

Multiple other charges and fees are set to go up including the hire of some council facilities and burial fees.
