Will a new code end 'rip-off parking charges'?
Published · 1 min read
Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a new statutory Private Parking Code of Practice to address 'rip-off parking charges.' The code, subject to parliamentary scrutiny, aims to provide drivers with more protections and rights.
However, critics argue the changes are minimal and may not significantly impact practices. The code includes a 10-minute grace period and a maximum charge of £100, but retains debt recovery fees. Campaigners hope the new oversight board will improve enforcement.
