Victory for Motorists: MHCLG Caps Parking Charges at £50 (£80 in London) with Mandatory 50% Discount

Does anyone know who actually writes this rubbish from the BPA. ?
80% of public support ???   I doubt that 5% of public know what is happening and 0% would support the scam.  Just fabrication and cloud dreaming by the BPA

Remember folks, the letter I received from Sir Greg Knight back in October 2020 ....

Dear Mr xxx

 Thank you for your recent email and I am grateful to you for getting in touch and letting me know your views.

 I have noted your concerns.

 My Parking (Code of Practice) Act received widespread support in the House of Commons and I can assure you that both Members of Parliament and Ministers are not so naïve that they would allow duplicated representations to the consultation to throw us off course.  The industry needs cleaning up and I am hopeful that a new robust Code of Practice will do this.

 I am grateful to you for setting your fears, which I hope will be allayed when the final code is published, in due course.

 

Kind regards

 

Rt Hon Sir Greg Knight MP

I believe the report on the consultation said something like, 3000 submissions had been received, of which were 1000 genuine unique submissions.

The scammers shot themselves in the foot by their mass identical submissions.

Yep, and if anything is going to annoy the org responsible for sorting those comments is trynig to obviously engineer faked responses. 
Its goingt o set them against your position. 
So dumb

They couldn't even use some carefully scripted response points put together by their ATA, then put them into their own words.  They might have had some chance .......!

I wonder how many had to be instructed in how to copy and paste?

Unlike the regulars and posters who we asked to submit responses to the consultation. Guidance was given on the salient points, and people used their own words instead of a mass copy and paste.

Yes, because many of the regulars and posters who submitted responses had their own unique experiences of being on the receiving end of a PPC. Big difference from responses of the brainwashed representatives of the PPC's.  

I responded to quite a number of comments but I am particularly interested in the regulation of the debt collection agents and the point at which debt collection can start.

What they don't seem to realise is that this bill is a result of numerous letters written to MP's regarding the aggressive, predatory behaviour of the PPC's. The bill gained cross party support and is unlikely to be diluted.

They are just going to have to suck it up and develop their business in other ways like other's  are having to do at the moment. My heart bleeds, NOT.

My family's particular concern, and that of my Uncle/FiL's carer who also cares for vulnerable young adults, is the issue around parking when a disabled person does not have a blue badge.
Every one of my family and the carer friend who posted, all mentioned that blue badge spaces should be called disabled spaces, and that anyone with a disability and has protected characteristics should not be penalised for using a disabled space on private land.
We had a discussion about it before hand, but everyone made their own unique submission using their own words based on their own experiences.

The BPA no longer has any credibility and it is their own making
They will need to buck their ideas up as they will be the next complaint to MP's

Half_way

Makes you wonder just how the world got by before the days of ANPR cameras, before supermarket car parks were infested by parasitic parking company's and so on
