At Work Parking Becomes A Reality

Tuesday, 6. October 2009

As long ago as October last year I reported that Nottingham City Council was the first to consider charging for at work car parking (see my blog). Well they have now completed their deliberations and decided that they will go ahead with the levy which will now come into force from April 2012. Companies providing more than 10 parking spaces will be charged from £265 per space per year. The levy will cost businesses £14 million a year which will be put towards public transport infrastructure development, assuming of course that businesses don’t simply take their ball along with their offices and factories and move location.
