    Just another thought.

    Any business model for a PPC should be based on the actual cost of parking. Should not include revenue from PCN's. In other words the firm should be viable without issuing PCN's. 

    I do think that with the effects of the pandemic on these businesses and a robust CoP some of them will not survive.

    Just as a matter of interest how does a member of the public get to have their two penny worth?

    I don't think that's been announced yet.

    As always Mr Snake you are right and up until monday the majority of parking tickets have been on lockdown for 3 months so little or no revenue.  It will be months before any tickets issued in lockdown can be turned into cash, if they ever do.  Hospitality/pubs are a scammers graveyard

    With shops now open with queues to get in, the scammers will start, will they win, doubt it when the motorist is complying with government instructions.  The 2, 3, 4 hour free parking is a no go.

    They will try to recoup by claiming for old tickets and no doubt DCBL will have a lemming hay day

    I am very surprised that Simon Renshaw-smith has not yet sued the covid19 virus for loss of business ? probably well beyond the capability of Jake Burgess ???

    No doubt the new CoP consultation will be seen on this forum.

    As always Mr Snake you are right
    I think Mr Snake is a snake-ess!   🐍 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    As said before, with the new code of pracice (overdue) ... and the man in charge, Robert Jenrick, we must be alert of anything we see in the new code that could indicate any intervention

    Robert Jenrick will today face a Commons bid to force him to hand over documents relating to his decision to give a Tory donor the green light for a £1billion development.
