Dr. Sarah Sparke from Cardiff Council will be hosting a session at Sight Life on 14th January about the Council’s Workplace Parking Levey Consultation.
Sarah Said:
“I will be outlining the council’s consultation: Workplace Parking Levy - Cardiff Council
And will explain why it will likely affect everyone – residents, commuters, and visitors.
So having your say is important.
The survey presents 7 different road user charge options (e.g. something like London’s ULEZ, or a toll road or….), and asks
Which would be YOUR First, Second and Third choice?
What do you think of the Council’s current preferred option (the Workplace Parking Levy)?
Where do YOU think the money raised should be spent? (e.g. improving public transport, active travel, air quality, focus on particular parts of the city, etc)
The different charging options would raise different amounts, and that would have a knock-on effect on what transport improvements are possible.”
The session is hosted in Sight Life’s Activity Room from 10 am until 12 noon.
What is a Workplace Parking Levy?
A Workplace Parking Levy option typically has the following key characteristics:
• Employers that provide workplace parking would be legally obliged to license the parking places used for work purposes.
• Each employer receives an annual charge based on an assessment of the maximum number of liable parking places used.
• Some employers may qualify for discounts or exemptions subject to criteria to be considered in the full business case work.
Please note that this session is not run by Sight Life.
