Workplace parking levy will help Nottingham
31 July 2009
Reacting to the news the Government has approved Nottingham City Council’s plans to put in place a workplace parking levy, Richard Hebditch, Campaign for Better Transport’s campaigns director, said:
“Nottingham City Council has shown good common sense in seeking to improve transport in the city by implementing a workplace parking levy. The levy will raise vital money to invest in great public transport improvements to help to reduce local traffic problems – which is good news for local businesses and local people.”
David Thornhill, the chair of the group’s Nottinghamshire branch, said he was pleased the Transport Minister gave Phase 2 of the city tram conditional approval today:
“This is excellent news. We have waited for far too long for decisions on the tram extension and we trust that work will now proceed as quickly as possible.”
