Nottingham City Council has sent a letter to residents across the city announcing a proposal to introduce new fees for permit holders. Under the change, a permit for one car would continue to be free - but residents would have to pay £35 for a permit for a second car and £50 for a third.
If passed following consultation, the new fees would apply to more than 1,000 streets in Nottingham. Letters have been sent to residents on streets in question to notify them of the situation.
The city council agreed earlier this year to launch a consultation on the introduction of the new fees - with the changes forming part of the authority's plan to set a balanced budget for 2022-23. Officials say it will bring the city in line with "most schemes around the country" and stressed that most households have one car.
