Yesterday the MEN reported that a new study suggested that Manchester is the best city for parking in the UK. As you'd expect the controversial report made quite the impression on our readers who had a lot to say about this.
The research was carried out by car finance and loan firm Moneybarn, who analysed the number of NCP parking spaces versus the number of licensed cars in each UK city to reveal the ‘best’ city for parking. According to Moneybarn Manchester clocked 37.77 parking spaces per 1,000 cars, with Cambridge's 35.92 spaces per 1,000 and Colchester's 28.08 coming second and third in their list.
Judging by our Facebook reader's comments many simply did not agree with the notion that the city is the best for parking. In fact, some readers thought the report was one big joke with many taking their chance to comically mock the survey.
