Plans to grant Christians free parking in a town could be blocked because councillors fear causing offence to other religions, it has been revealed.

Tewkesbury Borough Council in Gloucestershire is considering scrapping charges for churchgoers throughout its car parks on Sunday mornings.

But a majority of the working group tasked with reviewing the town's parking strategy felt the idea should not become policy as it could be viewed as unfair to other faiths. The review will go before the council on January 20.
