B
Commuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to£350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2016 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged £ 350 a year for each space in two years.-meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport,but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库).,and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total £ 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.,where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces,which get vehicles off the streets,” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock,which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more ,Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham.The council says the tax will raise as much as £100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city. of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”
