Transport Secretary to announce plan as part of roll-back on anti-car measures
A national parking app enabling drivers to pay charges anywhere in the country is to be unveiled by ministers under plans to “slam the brakes” on anti-car measures.
Currently motorists have to download multiple parking apps on their mobile phones to pay charges in different local authority areas.
Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, will announce next week that people will be able to download just one app of their choice which they can use wherever in the country they are.
The announcement comes ahead of the Conservative Party’s annual conference in Manchester, where Tory politicians and activists will gather on Sunday.
