    I read this as an "evidence gathering" phase and, hopefully, all those pleas that @Coupon-mad has been requesting for posters to supply evidence over the last several months will be useful.  I have NO evidence, not having been in the position of most of our posters and some of our regulars.  I do have lots of anecdotal evidence collected from this forum but that will be hearsay!  Will that count?  Of course, I have an opinion!

    This is not a consultation, as you say it's "evidence gathering"

    The question must be ... have the 
    DLUHC lost all the prior evidence that enabled Sunak to approve the bill and then pass it into law.

    Or are they once again listening to the BPA propaganda and cartel. Have government got such a short memory they have forgotten they were duped by the BPA with POFA 2012 ??  
    Is the DLUHC ABOUT TO BE DUPED AGAIN

    The Parking (Code of Practice) Act was passed into law in March 2019 when Teresa May was Prime Minister; you would have thought they could have gathered the evidence then!

    Here's what the Local Government Minister said at the time:-
    Drivers to receive greater protection against rogue private parking operators - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
    UNREAL ... UNREAL

    And Sunak said ...
    Motorists across Britain will have greater protections against bogus parking fines as new measures to clamp down on rogue private parking firms become law.

    Did he forget to tell Gove or is now the time to refresh his memory

    Well it is all about evidence.

    There is also a question about consumer behaviour and deterrents, so anything anyone can find by way of research on that, would be worth digging for.

    A positive summary:

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • I quite like that they are going through every stage of the process, to make sure that all the JR's these companies keep throwing money at will be fruitless when it does eventually go through. It seems that they are trying to prevent the debacle of the 2022, which was withdrawn.

    Does anyone happen to have a link for the exact wording of this one?

    Will the wording for other related parts be similar to the 2022 parking code of conduct that was withdrawn, I.e the exemption considerations etc?
