Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s Paul Tovey will speak at Knowle Village Hall on Monday February 25 from 8pm on the plans.

The council wants to charge drivers to park more than three hours with options including a starting rate of 40p to £2.40 for over six hours. Click here for more details.

Mr Tovey, the council’s principal traffic engineer, will give a short presentation and take questions at the Knowle Society event.

Doors will open at 7.30pm and the society said places will be on a first-come-first-served basis.

The council has said the plan will deter long-stay parking by workers to free up spaces and be a “a potential new source of revenue” for the cash-strapped authority.
