Tories said they would tackle ‘rogue private parking operators

The Tories said they would tackle ‘rogue private parking operators’, whose practices have been repeatedly exposed by the Daily Mail.

This echoes a promise made by the Coalition government, which it failed to follow through on.

As the comments say

"yeah yeah yeah we have heard it all before. Do it rather than say it"

"Promises Promises Promises- why havent the CONS done these things already - theyve had plenty of time to now. Its big CON time again. How these politicians ignore people until they want their votes. Its unreal and pathetic"

    The job now is to hold Mrs May to her promise.

    This must mean that we re-open the complaints directly to
    Mrs May by letter

    I am sure it will happen, in time. When I was a boy you could drink and drive, !!!!!exuality was a criminal offence, women were paid a lot less than men, kids were caned in schools, thugs birched, now all sorted. In the grand scale of things this is a mere annoyance.

    At least five million voters every year are getting clobbered by punitive private parking charges, most of which are invalid. Now is the time to ask candidates what they are going to do about it.

    Write to newspapers, berate canvassers, start a campaign: just do something other than moan about it.
