Bath and North East Somerset Council has drafted proposals that would charge drivers of larger cars extra for parking, according to reports. The plans, put forward by the Lib Dem-led administration, are intended to change parking pricing based on vehicle size. Local residents have responded with criticism, with some saying the proposals are unfair or would add costs for people who drive bigger vehicles. The accounts describe the measures as generating an angry backlash in the area where the council’s policies would apply. The reports focus on the fact that the proposals are still at the planning stage and have prompted public concern among residents. No additional details are provided in the supplied material about the amount of the proposed surcharge, which car categories would be affected, or when any changes would take effect. The issue is therefore presented primarily as a council policy proposal met with public opposition rather than as an already implemented change.
