A parking space in London...
A parking space in London for ң2.40 a day sounds like a dream but a budget, airline-style scheme has made it a reality!
Westminster Council is trialling a new charging method thats based on how busy the car park is. Drivers entering when it is virtually empty pay only 20p an hour; then, as the bays fill up, the price rises to ң2 an hour.
Its similar to the way no-frills air companies charge for seats on planes. A spokesman for the council said: We know many drivers are put off by expensive parking fees. Now, they will be far cheaper on a first-come, first-served basis.
If its a hit, the scheme will be implemented in 14 other Westminster car parks. Councils nationwide are also watching the 12-week pilot with interest.
