The question

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
This government is determined to drive up standards in the private parking sector. It has recently outlined, in a public consultation, its proposals to better protect and support motorists whilst balancing the legitimate needs of private parking operators.
Specific views are being sought on the level of parking charge caps and on the appeals service.
The consultation closed on 26th September.
