Just a quickie from me. Is there any shortcut to get to your last comments in the response in order to continue a partially completed and saved document, without having to scroll down each page from the start, click 'Continue', then same again next page. As I'm approaching Q33, it's taking an age to get there, every time!

Environmental Question 36

In my answer I also mentioned how Operators are restricting/stopping EV drivers recharging with their car park time restrictions and when on site businesses are closed.

Two in three EV drivers have waited more than 10 minutes to use charger – survey

And banning Debt fees would dramatically reduce DRA paper use!
 

Good points!

Operators also restrict times you can use the recycling facilities in private car parks. 
Expecting people to pay the overnight parking tariff or receive a hefty pcn when dropping off recycling materials is more likely to put people off than encourage them to recycle using the facilities in private car parks.

Good point for the environmental question.

Don't think so...?

Here is an additional concern to add to question 33 about when operators jump ship from one APA to another:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/81613849/#Comment_81613849

As well as the concern about whether sanction points follow the operator if they switch horses, there are more issues about transparency:.

- There has ALWAYS been an issue that the APAs fail to state the date that an AOS member joined and/or left the AOS. This must be stated to the day.

- There has always been an issue (a civil offence 'misleading omission' by the BPA and IPC) that they FAIL TO MARK THE AOS LIST if an operator has left or has been suspended by them or the DVLA.

Consumers are entitled to (NEED to know) the dates of suspension by an APA or the DVLA because that means an operator cannot get their DVLA data during that period.

It cannot be down to someone having to guess or send an FOI to the DVLA every month to ask which PPCs are banned or suspended!
