North Berwick Parking Push

North Berwick’s new parking charges are sparking heated debate, but council chief Laurence Rockey is urging local traders to embrace the change—or risk tarnishing the town’s reputation. While some social media backlash is mounting, Rockey acknowledges the emotional response and stresses that similar systems are already working elsewhere. The council is open to feedback from the Traders Association, asking for patience as they aim to boost visitor numbers and maintain North Berwick’s appeal. This pilot program, the first of its kind in East Lothian, could soon expand to Musselburgh, Haddington, Dunbar, Tranent, and Prestonpans—making collaboration key to keeping the town vibrant and accessible for all.
