The legal case that is challenging car parking companies who charge huge fees if patrons overstay even by a few minutes. And the lessons gleaned from the original new towns.

The legal case that is challenging companies who charge for overstaying your welcome in car parks. Anyone parking in some car parks is allowed to do so for free, providing they don't stay longer than its time limit. Staying a few minutes beyond that limit can result in charges of more than 拢100.
As cities expand across the region, we reveal what lessons can be learnt from the original new towns. The east of England pioneered Garden Cities, we catch up with early settlers and find out why Letchworth is a model for the rest of world, but not England.
And how would you celebrate your town? The people of Corby are singing out their success with the help of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Car parking charges
A driver challenging an 拢85 parking charge has branded the DVLA's selling of motorist details to private parking firms, "extremely concerning".
Barry Beavis, of Chelmsford, made his comments after it emerged the taxpayer-funded DVLA lost money selling the data, last year.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency says it only sells driver details to "accredited" private companies.
