More than 1 million cars sold annually in the UK are currently too big to fit into a typical parking space. There are now suggestions that SUVs should face higher charges as they are outgrowing town and city centres. Most people seem to buy them as status symbols. It’s suggested that small, electric cars should be encouraged for city use. It would be better, however, to ensure that public transport is fast, efficient, clean and cheap (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/04/more-than-1m-cars-sold-in-uk-each-year-too-big-to-fit-typical-parking-space). Some folk need to use cars in towns and cities but SUVs are rarely a requirement there. The parking spaces could be used to create more people and environmentally friendly locations.
