I welcome the consultation on a new Private Parking Code of Practice and encourage as many people to respond outlining their concerns at
My own view is that the proposed changes do little to protect people from low-income backgrounds. The cap should be much lower than £100 and offering a 40% discount pressures motorists into paying, rather than exploring their options to appeal. Finally, the burden of debt recovery fees should not be placed on motorists, whatever the cost, and should be scrapped altogether.
We must seek to align closely with local authority run car parks, which are often cheaper, and I’ll be addressing the proposed changes with my colleagues.
I urge my constituents to engage with the consultation.

Private Parking Code of Practice ConsultationOverview
Welcome
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is setting out its proposals for raising standards across the private parking industry before preparing a new Government Code of Practice and a compliance framework for parking operators

Typical show boating populist MP bull. If you can afford to run a car you can afford a PCN, the value has to act as a deterrent. It's often cheaper to pay the PCN in a council car park (not that you are likely to get caught anyway) than the tariff. It costs councils to enforce, those people breaking the rules should bear the cost of enforcement, not the people who obey the rules.
97% of motorists follow the rules and never get a PCN, its not difficult. The government should stop focusing on the populist topic around PCN values and properly tighten up the rules and regulation so bandits like Excel parking and the majority of smaller operators who just don't have the resources or scale to be properly compliant are forced out of business.
@ixyy well it appears youve missed the point completely
