After the last budget, be aware that there is now a cost for parking low-emission vehicles in council-run public car parks.  This was not well publicised, and one of our residents fell fowl of this and had a parking fine.

Basically, you will need to apply for a period pass permit (or just pay the normal car park fees) – an old licence disc will not do.  Charges:

Zero-emission cars (electric cars)  – £10 for 12 month pass

Band A vehicles (hybrids, etc) – £360 for 12 months or £180 for 6 months.
