paying to park your car at work

[stevewool]

well what ever next, over £300 a year per car to park at your works carpark, nottingham is the first area that are charging the company to park there employers cars, the first 10 are free but after that £300 per year per car,surely if the company owns the land and pays rates then how can they charge, soon will it be the same for us being charge for parking our car at home too,, the council says its to get people to use the public transport and to pay for the new tram service that is being put into servicein the coming years, if it comes to derby well, the bikes coming out

Don't forget there's a new tax for cyclists in designated urban areas effective April 2012.

Better learn how to ride the unicycle which is tax exempt.

When I worked at our local hospital and retired in 2009 We all paid to park
And on low wages, I expect the high paid bosses had a scam way round it

I had one of those one time. But somebody stole my hoop and I couldn't get back home

Price of petrol (when you can actually buy the stuff due to some incompetent in the government making a stupid remark about readycans) being so high, it won't be too long before no-one can afford to drive to work anyway

[KeithD]

I work at home so I couldn't care less

I work from home too.

Anybody who lives in Nottingham Council area has my deepest sympathy though.

My stepdaughter is at Uni' there.

York has horrendous parking charges compared to other towns. Just leave it at Morrisons like everyone else does, or park on my drive for a small consideration.
