Parking charges across Bath are set to change and new rates will be based on the harmful emissions certain vehicles produce.
The new charges will hit everyone who drives a diesel car and anyone with a non-diesel car which emits more than 131g of CO2 per kilometre, with the price of parking based on vehicle pollutants or engine size.
People driving electric vehicles or non-diesel vehicles below the threshold will escape the rise but analysis by Bath and North East Somerset Council, which is implementing the scheme, suggests 66% of people who use the city’s car parks will pay more.
