Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently read that parking bays are being widened to encourage, sorry “accommodate” ever-larger metal wombs on wheels 

A quick google search finds that this happened in 2016 in Manchester.

So, I have two questions

1.  From 2016 to 2020, when NCP controlled the car parks, was there any attempt by Manchester City Council to stop them widening their bays. If so, please provide correspondence

2. Control of car parking is now back in-house. Does Manchester City Council have any policy in place around not widening any more bays to encourage,sorry, “accommodate” ever-larger vehicles.

Please consider this a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
