Parking: Fees and Charges
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of trends in the cost of business parking permits introduced by local authorities in car parks.
- Answer
-
Local authorities are best placed to determine the nature and scope of parking policies across their area.
