I do think that there should be a simple plan on the terms and conditions board showing where other ticket machines are located.

If a ticket machine is not working and there is not another machine the ticket should be cancelled. They are not always easy to locate especially if they are just the metal box with no signage.

Well done and thanks for updating the forum. The more motorists who contribute with first-hand experience of how the private parking sector has affected (blighted) their lives, the better. 

Nice one too in writing to your MP. MPs will have the last say on how the sector has tried to circumvent the Will of Parliament expressed in the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019.

I am going to write a letter to a Minister about the introduction of parking on private land into the theory part of the driving test.

Young people often get caught out and as many of them are transient (university, first jobs etc.) they can end up with a CCJ which will be a blight on their young lives.

Would I write to Grant Shapps?

Sounds good. Why not copy Jenrick in as well, given his Department's current interest in private parking.

Yes, I believe it would be Transport that would be the relevant department for driving test-related matters, so Grant Shapps.
