Summary
Bristol is set to become the UK’s second city to charge businesses for employee parking, with fees ranging from $600 to $1,250 per space annually—aimed at slashing car use and boosting public transport. The council is weighing rollout options, from a city-center focus to full citywide coverage, while facing pushback from business groups worried about added costs stifling growth. A public consultation this autumn will shape the plan, which targets firms with five or more spaces and includes exemptions for disabled, NHS, and school parking. All revenue will fund transport upgrades, including buses and congestion relief, with hopes of generating millions yearly.
