Small is beautiful in Norwich eco-friendly bid

10 January 2008

Norwich City Council is set to introduce permit parking based on car size, in a bid to encourage people to drive smaller cars.

Due to be introduced in February, the new permit scheme is designed to generate more on-street parking and encourage car owners to drive smaller cars, which are generally more carbon-friendly than larger ones. The scheme is to be rolled out gradually, with permit-holders changing over as and when their previous permit expires.

Drivers of cars under 3.92m long will be paying £16 – just over half the price (£30) for people with cars more than 4.45m in length. The changeover will cost around £36,000, with funding from the EU Civitas project. The scheme also includes a 100% discount for private cars using alternative fuel.
