There is a drop in the number of new cars registered in Louth in November 2023, compared to the same time last year, according to figures released this week through the Central Bureau for Statistics.
45 new cars were registered in Louth in November 2023, up from 61 in November 2022, a low of 26%. However, in the 12 months to November 2023, the number of new cars registered was higher than in the 12-month period to November 2022.
2,606 new cars were registered in Louth in the 12 months to the end of November 2023. This is an increase from the 2,416 recorded in the 12 months to November 2022, an increase of 7. 9%.
Looking at the figures for November 2023, it was one of the few months this year where petrol cars were not the most popular type of fuel type in new cars registered.
