Breaking News: Government has announced the statutory Code of Practice, and Enforcement Framework

Nuddmann

2.19 parked/parking

an instance of a vehicle being caused by the driver to remain stationary other than in the course of driving (excluding instances where the driver has stopped to enable passengers leave or enter the vehicle)

A vehicle may be deemed to be parked whether or not the driver has left the vehicle or turned off the ignition

Spells the end of "No Stopping" in airports nonsense?

ignore my last. Just read Annex B!!

"E.2 Wording used in operator notices

Operators must not use the following terms:

(anything impersonating a council PCN)"

Does that mean the pretty yellow/black windscreen envelopes stock will have to be destroyed?.  Maybe the ppc will give them to the LA.

Interesting to note the deafening silence from @AnotherForumite and others from the PPC side.
Although it still maybe slightly early for their commentary...

A simple answer to help the UK Chancellor of the Handbag would be to increase the levy for PPCs wanting to purchase keeper data from the DVLA (but keep it the same for landowners) to, say £10.

Much better would be to have a special charge for PPCs based in London and the Home Counties of £1,000 and £10 for everywhere else.

What is not clear is that if a PPC goes against the rules, they will be banned from the DVLA

Will it be lifetime ban or a slap on the wrist and back in business after a month ?

And what happens to PPC's who currently don't use POFA as it seems if they do not use the new code they can be banned.

And there is nothing about if an ATA behave badly and where to complain.

All in all this gives the PPC no wriggle room and is a huge clampdown.

But why wait until 2023 ....... letting the crazzies run riot

Since Bargepole posted this thread at 7.42 this morning, the thread has over 2000 views ... amazing.

This suggests that the whole of the parking industry have read it ?

Tears and fears are now the order of the day

Depends on how good they are at handling words with 2 or more syllables...

Have BPA, IPC, Gallstones/ other bent solicitors, DRA, PPCs and other bottom feeders issued any statements or quotes!?!  I imagine there will be some serious steam coming out of Captain Clamp-It's ears right (which will match the Hot Air that comes from his mouth!).  Oh well you can't take the pi55 out of people, rip them off, harass and bully them forever just like you can't deal drugs or cash in fraudulent cheques for ever either. Every crime and criminal has a shelf life!   They done their own legs by their own greedy, dishonest and nefarious behaviours!!! The government had enough and kicked the troughs away from the reach of their greedy snouts!!!

The only icing on the cake would have been a stricter time limit in which the PPCs can take someone to court over an unpaid parking invoice, i.e. 12 months.  Over 12 months old and the parking ticket becomes barred from being put in front of a judge [to stop the bottom feeders from passing details of unpaid invoices from 4-5 years to try and take them to court].
