If they are allowed to get away with it then you can bet your bottom Euro that other Councils will follow suit.

I am all for actively discouraging unnecessary cars, but can a company really be charge for cars parked on their own land? Surely they are already paying business rates for this land?
Does this charge apply just to town centre businesses or to out of town businesses as well?
Most councils have actively promoted out of town sheds and offics, now they are going to put a surcharge on peopole using them? For many employees the only way to get to their workplace is by private transport as public transport is not available
