Introduce Regulation of Private Parking Practices
We call for legislation to regulate the practices of private parking firms, including:
- allowing pre-payment or payment at the time of departure
- offering free or discounted parking for Blue Badge holders
- exempting parking for medical emergencies from Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).
Private parking companies may impose strict time limits to pay, which I think is penalizing drivers for factors beyond their control, like malfunctioning machines or queues. Additionally, in my view, Blue Badge holders and those in medical emergencies face unfair fines. I believe that by regulating these practices, the Government could promote fairness, accessibility, and protect vulnerable individuals from potential exploitation, ensuring the system works in the public's best interest.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
