Petition Action

Regulate types of parking machines for which local authorities are responsible

Petition Details

Instruct local authorities to ensure that all public parking machines which they control enable on-the-spot cash and/or card payment to provide alternatives to phone or App payment. Currently, some authorities are removing cash and card facilities.

Additional Information

Current local authority policies are effectively obliging car owners to carry a mobile phone at all times and not to forget to do so. It should be possible to park a car without having to use an App or having to make a phone call to a call centre where there may be delays. Current systems which offer cash and/or card options are customer friendly and quick and easy to use.
