The charge increases for those wanting to stay more than an hour, but motorists still only face forking out 50p for two hours of parking.

At the other end of the scale, parking for up to ten hours at the Railway Street car park is only £8 - still less than the cost of an hour for parking at the UK's most expensive which is, unsurprisingly, in London.

Brewer Street car park, smack bang in the Capital's West End, close to Soho and the Theatreland, will cost motorists a cool £13 an hour.
