Cost of living crisis scuppers workplace parking levy plans
A council has dropped plans to make many companies pay a levy on their city centre parking because of the uncertainties caused by the cost of living crisis.
Leicester City Council had been considering charging most employers with more than 10 spaces £550 per space per year under the proposals.
It had said changes were needed to cut congestion and meet tough climate and air quality targets, and raise money to provide sustainable transport for new housing developments.
Between 450 and 600 firms would have been affected and, pending government approval, it could have started in early 2023.
