Private Parking Enforcement - code of practice

bobfromlondon

I have not seen if anyone has posted this before.

The British Parking Association (BPA) has a Code of Practice for issue of
private parking tickets. Here is the link (or google the sentence)

For real enthusiasts, Parkex is the exhibition in April at NEC Birmingham for all things parking and enforcement. Visiting is Free. It is quite entertaining. A lot of the companies that enforce parking will be represented. To be fair, they are often receptive to motorists views. hence the code of practice.

This year it is doubling with Roadex which is all about road construction and barriers.

Would love to go and poke fun at them that they're in fact legally unenforceable, but they'd poke fun back as they'll have more money in their wallets than I do. Lol.

The BPA is just a trade association.

What the PPCs should, in fact, be adhering to is the law, and in particular the new consumer regulations.

Which most of their members then promptly ignore - such as writing letters saying that "the registered keeper is responsible for payment", which is clearly a load of aged bovine excrement.

About as much relevance as the Civil Enforcement website. http://www.civilenforcementnow.com/

Hi bargepole.


Nope, I don't work for any PPCs or any part of that industry. I occasionally liase with BPA and various clampers and associated bodies in a professional capacity.
