Company urges Milton Keynes people to rent out their driveways to strangers for extra income

Already a string of Milton Keynes residents are cashing in on the YourParkingSpace website, which rents out unused spaces all over the UK.

The company says bookings have rocketed post-lockdown and more spaces are needed all over MK.

People, particularly commuters, will pay up to £125 a month for a parking slot close to CMK station. Even surrounding estates such as Oldbrook and Bradwell Common and selling parking for £60 a month.

YourParkingSpace says rented driveway income provides long-term economic stability, even in uncertain times.

Managing director Harrison Woods said: “Additional income for homeowners by renting out their empty driveways to motorists needing somewhere to park is as safe as houses, if you pardon the pun.

“The amount made by homeowners has remained incredibly stable over the years, providing reassurance of a steady stream of income, even when we face difficult times.”

He said new booking customers had increased by 70 per cent in the past three months alone, with areas in particular demand including city centre locations near to offices and stations.

“Rented driveway parking is growing in popularity as the way we travel changes. Anyone who has an empty driveway, possibly one that they don’t use throughout the day, is encouraged to list it for free on YourParkingSpace.co.ukso they can start making money from this valuable asset.”
