Many thanks

Hold a public inquiry into the private parking industry's conduct and practices
Parking operators issue 23,000 charge notices daily. Many motorists who receive one will suffer the same unjust practices and repetitive procedure errors others in the past have. We need an inquiry to identify why when a current enforceable AOS Code of Practice governing the conduct and operations...

    Did you somehow miss all the very significant work done on this very issue by members of the Parking Tickets Board here?

    I certainly did not miss it but accept I failed to acknowledge and show my immense appreciation of it in my 1st post. It was thoughtless and I apologise for it. 
    My petition was started after I was left infuriated by BPA's final review of my complaint.

    PETITION NOW CLOSED. Thanks if anyone on MSE helped it achieve 53 signatures. Just 9947 short !!! 

    I hope many more people will respond to the long awaited parking code consultation to review level of parking charges and add on admin fees. Since the code was withdrawn in June 2022 MPs have continued to question DLUHC on their progress to get the code reintroduced. The response in February from the department's under Secretary of State was she would confirm consultation timelines in due course. 8 mths on and all she can say is in due course !!! 

    A further 3 questions were tabled by an MP on wed to ask the Secretary of State for LUHC if 
    he will publish the timetable and the Term of Reference for the consultation
    and whether his department has undertaken the business impact assessment 

    Although these questions were expected to be answered on Friday 3rd March we're still awaiting them. Hopefully this means the MP will receive  more informative helpful answers than the usual "in due course." If not I'll be asking my MP to ask the reason why the dept can't answer these questions.
