Two major changes are taking place from May 1
Proximus raises its prices once more
Proximus will further increase its prices on May 1, the telecom company announced in March. The company justifies this new price increase by higher costs for salaries and technological equipment. Proximus had already increased the prices of a series of packs in January. In May, the “Flex” and “Epic’ offers as well as the “Business Flex” packs will become more expensive, around 3 to 4 euros per month, i.e. increases of more than 6%. “The rates which increased in January will not be increased”, assures the company. Proximus has, on the other hand, decided to reduce the price of its entry-level Internet access offer by 2.5 euros per month, for “support the households most affected by inflation”.
New parking plan for the City of Brussels
A new parking plan will come into force on May 1 on the territory of the City of Brussels. The main changes relate to the duration of the regulations applied until 9 p.m. – as in several neighboring municipalities – and no longer 6 p.m.; and at the rate of the increased resident card for the second household vehicle (110 euros instead of 50). This parking plan divides the territory into four parking zones: blue, green, gray and red. For people without a parking card, it will be paid for in the gray and green zones, but free and limited to 2 hours in the blue zone, on presentation of the parking disc, specifies the City of Brussels.
