Parking: Private Sector
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to increase regulation of private car park companies.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Government recognises the need for high standards in the private parking industry and is working with both consumer groups and the two parking trade associations to raise standards and deliver better protection and support for motorists.
The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 places a duty on the Government to prepare a code of practice containing guidance about the operation and management of private parking facilities. The Government will announce plans for the Code of Practice in due course.
