Car parks to smell of baking bread

Car parks in the UK could soon be smelling of baking bread and cut grass and roses, it has been announced.

Parking firm NCP found that as many as one third of potential customers were being put off using their car parks because of their pong.

A survey of 2,000 people found two in three said stairwells were the worst-smelling part of car parks, with many saying the areas smelt of urine and vomit.

As a result NCP are now planning to pump pleasant smells through the stairwells of car parks in London, Birmingham, and Cardiff.

A spokesperson for NCP said other smells they were considering included bubblegum, coffee and petrol ... until someone pointed out that being car parks they already smelt of petrol.
