The government of Antigua and Barbuda has announced the introduction of 45-minute parking permits in St John\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> as part of broader efforts to revitalise the city\u2019s market area and improve traffic flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief of Staff Lionel Max Hurst confirmed at Monday\u2019s post-Cabinet press briefing that the new time-limited permits aim to support shoppers while maintaining accessibility and order in the capital\u2019s busy commercial zones.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The initiative forms part of a wider urban renewal strategy spearheaded by Minister Rawdon Turner, which includes reorganising vending spaces and enhancing the aesthetics of the St John\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> market district.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe idea is to allow people to come into St John\u2019s, shop conveniently, and leave, freeing up parking for others and ensuring a better experience for all,\u201d Hurst said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 45-minute compromise emerged following consultations between the government, vendors, and other stakeholders, who rejected proposals for both shorter and longer parking durations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Further details on the start date and permit implementation are expected to be announced by Minister Turner in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market revamp is part of the government’s push to modernise St John\u2019s while maintaining economic opportunities for small businesses and vendors.<\/p>
