A summer park and ride scheme for Brighton and Hove has been proposed to "make parking simpler and fairer".

City councillors were presented with a report into the idea on Thursday.

The authority is considering linking existing car parks and bus services as part of the project.

Technology would be used to link tickets, payments and signage.

Trevor Muten, cabinet member for transport, parking and public realm, said: "We'll be able to monitor, learn from and make improvements to the scheme, before rolling it out to other parts of the city.

"This initiative will operate alongside our efforts to make parking simpler and fairer, our expansion in electric vehicle charging, and our improvements to the city's walking and cycling infrastructure."
