Parking Mad?

Wake Up to Money

Available for 29 days

Private car park operators will have less scope to charge drivers for certain mistakes under new government measures announced this morning - Sean Farrington speaks to the AA's head of roads policy on whether the new changes go far enough. Less than 18 months after the discount supermarket Poundland was sold for one pound, talks are ongoing for it to be sold again. What could this mean for the jobs and future of the retailer? And proposals to charge the TV licence fee to people who use streaming platforms like YouTube and Netflix are reportedly under consideration. The manager behind one of YouTube's biggest successes speaks to Wake Up to Money.
