Parking: Private Sector
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to monitor compliance with consumer protection legislation by private parking companies.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Government is aware of concerns regarding the actions of some private parking operators and is determined to drive up standards across the sector.
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.
As part of this, the Government will be launching a consultation on its proposals to raise standards in due course.
