Sutton Council has been urged by the government to reconsider its parking policy which the RAC has called 'discriminatory'.

Liberal Democrat-run Sutton Council increased its car park prices in June for people using machines to pay.The council said it was in response to the rising cost of providing the machines. "Councils have a duty to ensure that they do not discriminate in their decision making against older people or those with vulnerabilities."Sutton Council said it was trying to incentivise people in order to keep its costs down
