Cardiff becomes first UK council to impose higher parking charges on larger vehicles

Cardiff Council has become the first local authority in the UK to impose higher parking charges on larger vehicles, such as SUVs. The move aims to combat the steep rise in the number of these larger vehicles, which the council says "take up more parking space and are a danger to other road users." The new parking plan, approved on Thursday, will force drivers of larger vehicles to pay a premium for their parking permits. This makes Cardiff the first UK council to implement such a measure, which is intended to address the growing concerns over the safety and environmental impact of larger cars in urban areas.
