The Parking Goon here has been put-on to more useful duties for the moment - He's been going round handing-out PPE to everyone and work have waived all daily and permit charges until at least December.

I wonder if this is  why I and seemingly many others are now seeing PPC's initiating court action where they have previously not bothered for long-standing PCNs. Without as many new tickets, they need to pursue their old ones.

Of course, but as a lot of water will have gone under the bridge, the daft legals who bring these claims and know very little about them will suffer.

We can expect a lot more old ticket claims as parking firms fight to survive

Just to update the Regulars; the Kadoe volumes are now available for the year ended 31st March 2021;-https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/who-dvla-shares-data-with

The main points are that:
1-Total enquiries for all "Car Parking Management" companies fell by 48% from 8.4 million in 2019/20 to 4.4 million in 2020/21.
2-Parking Eye fell by 55% from 2.17 million to 976K.
3-The biggest "losers" amongst the big PPC's were VCS down 72%, (Excel down 57%), and Britannia down 68%.

No one will care if these companies go to the wall. They are dispensable as their clients can manage their car parks "in house".

They will not be able to pick up the pieces like some businesses as life has changed and more people are shopping online. Many people who had their groceries delivered during the pandemic have still carried on.  There will not be the need for car park management in supermarkets except at certain times like the run up to Christmas. They can manage that themselves.

Many towns are car free and some have congestion charges. Nottingham is good because they have a tram system.

I can see some two car families going down to one as electric cars are quite expensive.
