Bath Council Tries Vehicle-Sized Parking Fees

Bath’s council is rolling out a bold new parking plan that charges based on vehicle size to nudge drivers toward greener transport—walking, biking, or public transit. To make it work, cars must have a valid MoT, and visitor permits could get pricier. After a November 2025 survey showed strong support for size-based pricing and a 38% approval for raising park-and-ride fees, the council’s tweaked proposals now seek fresh public feedback. Alongside this, they’re eyeing changes on Weston Road, Monmouth Street (to aid police), and other operational tweaks—all aimed at safer streets, fairer access, and smoother city logistics. If you’re in Bath or curious how cities reshape mobility, this is a major shift worth watching. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
