Labour Controlled Norwich Council is the first council in Britain to start using this new stealth tax

UK Motorists are being hit yet again by Labour with the start of Local Councils charging residents to park their own cars outside their homes. Council permits will be changed and charged according to the size of your car

And Labour Controlled Norwich Council are the first council to start charging this new tax, linking parking permits to the size of the car to raise millions of pounds in extra revenue.

The Local Government Association said many other Town Halls were watching the scheme "with Interest".

The updated Norwich Council permit system penalises all family (estate car) owners as well as many other family saloon cars will be "upgraded" to the same status of the big four wheel drive gas guzzlers because of their size - regardless of the engine emissions.

On street parking permits from Norwich Council presently cost a standard, flat rate fee of £16.00. Under the new tax, there are three bands of permits, according to your car size. The largest band will now cost £30.00 for a permit, a 90% increase , with the loosely described "middle" band rising to £22.00.

The Council, have however been generous - if you drive a small car, which fits in with their small car band (important - your small car may be a medium size according to the Norwich Council database) - the price stays at £16.00

Norwich Council have, of course, defended the new parking permit scheme (aka tax) - Councillor Brian Morrey admitted the move will lead to increased revenues, but said at the same time: "That's not the point of the plan, and the money would be used for transport improvements. It is a deliberate plan to push people towards owning small cars, which generally have lower emissions but also don't cause such problems with parking."
