Thanks to collaboration efforts by the Labour government with the parking sector, drivers will be able to use their preferred parking app for all participating car parks.
It will use a not-for-profit national parking platform created by the British Parking Association, at no cost to the tax payer.

The mad rejoin mob and the right are incandescent that Starmer has managed to play both the US and EU and got some quite good concessions out of them. We can now put to bed the nonsense of lower food standards and selling off the NHS.
He will also do a huge comprehensive deal with the EU.

This is a really good change & is already happening for the new Money Hill car park in Ashby
I have seen some people calling for this, as countries like France already do it!
The Labour government is proposing we require car parks to have solar panel canopies.
It could lead to cheaper car charging and lower electricity bills for the supermarkets and businesses.
Nice one!

Better deal for motorists and businesses with solar car parks
Motorists could benefit from cheaper charging costs and more transparent prices at the pump.

It may be ‘awful April’, but it starts well for around 2m workers on the minimum wage, which has risen 6.7 per cent, from £11.44 to £12.21 an hour. Minimum wage youth rates are rising even faster too – to £7.55 for 16-17 year olds, and £10 for 18-20 year olds.
