Residents in luxury flats in Ancoats have railed against a proposed surge in car park rates — which would see drivers charged £110 PER MONTH to park their car at home.
Tenants in the Manchester Life-owned Sawmill Court, on Murray Street in Ancoats, say the new pricing is ‘ludicrous’. Previously, drivers were charged £95 a month on top of their rent to lease a parking space in the secure facility. In 2021, the rate rose from £85 to £95 per month.
However, that is set to pass the three-figure threshold, they say — and comes at a time when other bills are increasing, so household budgets are not adding up. One tenant outraged by the charges is David Loughbrough, who lives in the block.
