Older cars at a Devon council could be charged double

A Devon council is considering plans to charge staff with older cars a higher rate for parking.

Teignbridge District Council is proposing to scrap free car parking at its Newton Abbot headquarters.



In its place will be a two-tier charge, with cars made before January 2001 charged £1 a day and other cars charged at 50p a day.

Unions say it is unfair on lower-paid staff who earn less and cannot afford newer cars.
