5th September Deadline! Private Parking Consultation: The Easy Way…

It’s easy! A simple email response to the Consultation is all you need to make your views known. Absolutely no need to do the full-fat version if you don’t want to.

Just pick out the questions relevant to you, on the PDF version below, & email your response to parking@communities.gov.uk. Just make sure you state which questions you’re answering! The Minister himself has said (in his Foreword) this is a perfectly acceptable way to respond.

The full Consultation is long, complex & esoteric. Much is irrelevant to us ordinary motorists. And  for most of us - life is just too short. 
Too long the victims of private parking cowboys - now is our chance to fight back! 

Please encourage as many motorists as you know, to respond by the 5th September deadline - otherwise the self-interested clamour from the private parking industry will drown us all out. 
If you do want to tackle the full survey - here it is. Brace yourself!

    Which is EXACTLY why I’ve posted it separately,
    If the Govt Minister whose name is on the Consultation says it’s OK - that’s good enough for me! 
    One of the ‘regulars’ even branded email replies as “half-baked”! 
    Getting our voices heard is more important than following the ‘rules’ of anyone here - regular or not. 
    By now they’re probably frazzled by all the Consultation stuff. 😵‍💫 😵‍💫
    But - can we all just co-operate? Surely we all want the same thing?
