Birmingham Parks: New Charges Spark Controversy
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Birminghams City Council introduces parking fees at three popular parks, sparking controversy. The fees, ranging from £1 to £5 per hour, aim to fund maintenance and align with other UK parks. However, locals and opposition groups oppose the charges, citing unfairness and punishment for council mismanagement. The council admits general funds will still be needed, and the Conservatives promise to scrap the fees if they win the May 2026 election.
