– Should a private person with a small business premises be forced to introduce a parking fee? It is extreme, says SP leader Vedum about the proposal The online newspaper.
The proposal was one of 128 joint proposals from the Labor Party, MDG and SV in the climate report, which the Storting will vote on on Tuesday.
The proposal reads as follows:
“The Storting asks the government to ensure that municipalities that wish to do so are authorized to impose payment also on private parking areas.”
The text of the proposal does not specify what type of property it should apply to, but climate policy spokesman and parliamentary representative Espen Barth Eide (Labor Party) says that it is about commercial property.
– We are talking here about parking associated with work. Typically in city centers, not people’s home parking, Barth Eide replies in an SMS to the newspaper.
– This opens up for more municipal self-government. Why should the municipalities themselves not be allowed to decide on such matters? he asks Vedum.
