Parkatmyhouse.com - Changing the Face of Parking in the UK

LONDON, January 18 --

Homeowners and businesses are earning as much as GBP5,500 a year by renting out their empty driveways and car parks as parking spaces around public venues throughout the country.

Motorists from Aberdeen to Lewisham are jumping at the chance to find and be able to pre-book hundreds of affordable and penalty-free spaces around stations, town centres, concert halls and sports stadiums through online parking space marketplace, ParkatmyHouse.com http://www.parkatmyhouse.com. Those with space to let and those with parking needs can find each other in seconds and negotiate a deal, thanks to the easy-to-use website.

With local authorities in England having made GBP1 billion from parking penalty notices last year, car park prices rocketing and 'parking rage' causing fatal fights between drivers, a service which makes parking less costly, restrictive and stressful and which allows people to get about their daily lives, is proving very popular.

Disabled and elderly people, hospital staff and commuters are amongst the 1,000 + registered ParkatmyHouse.com users who are already enjoying the peace of mind which comes with pre-booked, affordable parking.

"I work at the Royal Free Hospital in London and the parking there is extremely limited, and costs a fortune. This will save so many staff so much money, and make their journeys into work a lot, lot easier", says one ParkatmyHouse.com user.

The driving force behind ParkatmyHouse.com are entrepreneur Anthony Eskinazi and Cambridge graduate, Katie Harvey, both just 23.

The pair aims to make the search for parking a thing of the past as the demand for space-efficient, off-road parking, which ParkatmyHouse.com enables and encourages, rises.

"Whether we continue to drive traditional cars as we know them today or use some sort of solar-powered, pollution-free golf buggies, people will always use cars, for their safety and flexibility, and will always need somewhere to put them", says Director Katie. "The Department of Transport predicts that car ownership will soar by forty five per cent in the UK in the next twenty five years, squeezing pressure on finite and already limited space".

ParkatmyHouse.com is being welcomed as a green parking solution and has received backing from local councils.

By reducing on-street parking, the service will help reduce traffic congestion, making the roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians and more accessible for public transport and emergency vehicles. It will cut down the amount of carbon emitted by vehicles circling areas in search of a parking space, and reduce queues around major public venues and transport hubs, ParkatmyHouse.com will encourage people to use their cars for part of their journey only and the train, tube or bus for the remainder of it.
