Bankrupt council considers charging workers to use free car parking spaces under plans to encourage more drivers to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the office

Daily Mail  

A bankrupt council is considering charging workers to use free company car parking spaces. The proposal by Croydon Council is aimed at encouraging more drivers to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to the office. But critics say the idea could leave staff facing bills of hundreds of pounds each year At one stage, a sixth of its annual budget - £47million - was being spent on debt repayments. The new scheme - known as a workplace parking levy - would be imposed on businesses with 11 or more privately-owned car parking spaces.
