answer text <p>There is no guidance or legislation currently which specifies that local authority parking should be available in cash. However, all local authorities have statutory duties to ensure that they do not discriminate in their decision making against older people or those with vulnerabilities. Cash remains legal tender and it will continue to be used by people who favour its accessibility and ease. Local authorities should ensure that there are alternative provisions for parking payments available so that no part of society is digitally excluded.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As part of the monitoring and evaluation of the Freeports programme, MHCLG commissioned an initial analysis of the expected economic impact of Freeports based on the Full Business Cases submitted by Freeports and approved by the UK Government.</p><p>The analysis projected that the eight English Freeports would create around 60,000 new and additional jobs (net direct jobs) and support a further 42,000 jobs across the supply chain. This would support a total of around £6.6 billion additional GVA per year. Scottish Green Freeports and Welsh Freeports will be incorporated into this analysis once they have completed the business case process, and the initial analysis is being refined through more detailed modelling carried out by Cambridge Econometrics.</p><p>To date, Freeports have attracted £6.4 billion in private investment, which will create over 7,200 jobs. The impact of Freeports will be closely monitored and evaluated as set out in the Freeports <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freeports-monitoring-and-evaluation-strategy/freeports-programme-monitoring-and-evaluation-strategy" target="_blank">monitoring and evaluation strategy</a>.</p>

In doing so, they are governed by a framework set by central government which ensures that they must give ‘reasonable preference’ to specific groups, including people in overcrowded housing. Statutory allocations guidance also recommends local authorities consider giving ‘additional preference’ (high priority) to families in severe overcrowding which poses a serious health hazard.</p>
