Chief Executive of Longford County Council Paddy Mahon, said a parking permit represents a smart financial decision for anyone who regularly parks in Longford Town. 

He added, “Rather than paying daily or weekly rates that quickly accumulate, a permit holder can make real savings. This isn't just about parking; it's about making town centre access affordable and straightforward for our community."

Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council, Cllr Garry Murtagh said the town thrives when people can access it easily and in the most affordable way possible. 

He said, “These permits remove the daily worry about feeding a parking machine. For families, workers, and those who support local businesses week after week, the savings are considerable. I would urge everyone who uses town centre parking regularly to consider applying. The council has worked hard to create options that suit different needs and budgets."

Permit application forms can be obtained from Longford County Council's Traffic Section at Great Water Street, Longford, or via the portal on the Longford County Council website. 

All permit applications should be submitted to the Traffic Section by post or in person or online via the portal. Terms and conditions apply to all permit types.
