Parking tax would hit half of Midlothian staff
More than half of Midlothian’s working population could be hit by a workplace car park tax if it is introduced in Edinburgh.
Midlothian councillors said 52 per cent of people who are in employment in the county work in the Scottish capital.
And they called on Midlothian to unite with other councils whose residents will be affected to put a united case to Edinburgh City Council urging them not to introduce the new levy.
Conservative Councillor Janet Lay-douglas said the car park tax was detrimental to people in Midlothian.
