Code to tackle 'tactics' of private parking firms
Burton Mail
|July 12, 2025
LONG-AWAITED plans to crack down on the tactics used by private parking compa- nies have been launched.
-
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said it is consulting on a legislation-backed code of practice aimed at creating a “fairer, more transparent private parking system”.
But motoring groups warned the proposals do not go far enough.
Analysis earlier this week found Britain's drivers were handed a record 14.4 million parking tickets by private companies in the year to the end of March. Each ticket can be up to £100, meaning the total daily cost may be near £3.9 million.
Local growth minister Alex Norris said: “Parking is part of everyday life but too many people are being unfairly penalised.
“That's why our code will tackle misleading tactics and confusing processes”
