• Upper Wolvercote The majority of the new parking permits will likely be needed on week days and Saturdays outside of evenings, which is similar to existing CPZ rules. CPZs are already in place in 37 parts of Oxford, while CPZs for nine other areas have already been approved or have funding in place. Yvonne Constance, Oxfordshire County Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said: “CPZs are already reducing commuter parking in residential streets across the city. With our plan to introduce congestion management and a Workplace Parking Levy in the near future, residents’ parking will become even more important – which is why we are taking this proactive approach to stop overspill parking on residential streets.

Nottingham City Council Portfolio Holder for Transport, Councllor Adele Williams told Express.co.uk: This kind of doom-mongering about a Workplace Parking Levy sparking the collapse of city centres is utter nonsense. We heard this sort of thing before we implemented ours – and nine years later we still haven’t seen those predictions materialise. No businesses have left Nottingham due to the WPL and many have invested here in the knowledge they will have to pay it, if they have eleven or more parking spaces. Forward-thinking business increasingly will invest in cities which have excellent green public transport options like ours, funded in part through the £75m we have raised through the levy so far.
