Parking: Fines
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has had recent discussions with private parking firms on issuing penalty charge notices where a person has paid for parking but has made a mistake in keying in the car registration number.
Answered by Alex Norris
The government recognises the need for high standards in the private parking industry and is committed to delivering a Code of Practice, in accordance with The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019.
I am arranging to meet with industry representatives soon. My officials meet regularly with the two private parking trade associations and consumer groups.
