Parking in Westminster is going 'easyjet,' meaning 20p an hour car park rates.

In a 12 week trial motorists will be charged in relation to how full the car park is. Though only in Queensway - the scheme will be extended if council chiefs decide it's a success.


£2 maximum

Even if the 250-capacity lot is full, drivers will still pay only the maximum £2 an hour.

Councillor Danny Chalkley admitted people were put off by high charges and the trial would operate on a "first come first served" basis. He continued:

"We have seen the huge success of similar pricing schemes employed by easyJet for their passengers and now hope to emulate this success and provide low cost parking."
