Council parking charges

Beware parking charges! Local authorities across England are raising car parking charges by as much as 60% this month. :astonished:

They made just short of £2billion between 2022-23.
“Faced with soaring debts and limits on the amount by which they can raise council tax, local authorities will this month increase parking charges again, by as much as 60%.”

So people don’t bother, local economies suffer, council commercial incomes drop, car parks go empty and sold for housing development in car hating areas where no one wants to live or can afford to live.
