On Your Behalf: Pavement Parking and The Carrier Bag Levy

Pavement Parking and The Carrier Bag Levy

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Pavement Parking and The Carrier Bag Levy

How pavement parking affects accessibility, and the cost of carrier bags.

Will Leitch discusses accessibility with IMTAC, scams with PSNI and the increased levy on carrier bags.

From April 2022 the cost of a carrier bag in Northern Ireland will increase from 5p to 25p. The Environment Minister, Edwin Poots, explains the reasoning for the increase. 

As the Department for Infrastructure begins a campaign to clampdown on pavement parking we discuss accessibility with members of The Inclusive Mobility and Transport Advisory Committee (IMTAC) and ask how the pandemic has changed things. 

We mark five years of the Scamwise NI partnership with the PSNI and ask what scams you need to look out for in the run up to Christmas, and consumer guru Jimmy Hughes tackles a listener’s difficulty with a sofa.
