Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) Comes Early For Nottingham University

Description:

Nottingham University plans to introduce the city council's Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) eight months early to coincide with the start of the financial year.

Staff will be charged for parking spaces from August 2011, the costs for each university worker will be on a sliding scale depending on salary levels and car emissions, and will cost from £49 to £490 per year.

Nottingham City Council is introducing the levy across Nottingham from April 2012.

The university parking scheme will also apply to the City Hospital site, the Queen's Medical Centre and its Sutton Bonington site.

The WPL is a charge on employers who provide free car parking in the boundary of the City of Nottingham.

It will cost around £253 a year in 2012/13; £285 in 2013/14; £301 in 2014/15 and £306 from 2015 onwards.
