    A car park in Leeds is accepting empty plastic bottles in return for money off parking.

    CitiPark is trialling the scheme at the Merrion Centre during October and says it has been "well received" by customers.

    The initiative allows drivers to pay for parking by trading in empty bottles for tokens. Each bottle, which has to be at least 500ml, is worth 20p and motorists can bring as many as they like.
