I'm sorry I dont understand your comment.

Your question surprises me. When you signed did you not see on the petition page the present number of signatures is shown directly below the statement 'Sign this petition' After you click/tap to confirm your email address you see the number of signatures move up by one. Tap 'show on map' brings up a uk map. Tap on each coloured region to see number signings in that area. Anyone can check total and by region the number of petition signatures... go to gov uk petitions search private parking or petition title in open petitions.

I'd prefer a signature for this petition (which isn't mine) instead of your applause. Thanks for the link but I'm already aware of latest gov developments...read and responded to the July consultation. https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/private-parking-code-of-practice-call-for-evidence It wasn't only a singular aspect of PPC's practice I evidenced in my response. There were many and some assumptions in the attached 90 page draft Impact Assessment were incorrect and challenged. Surprised to learn it only costs £8.42 for PPC to issue a pcn. And last wk I submitted more written evidence of PPC's practice to the Justice Committee's inquiry. https://committees.parliament.uk/work/7972/work-of-the-county-court/news/ It's all very well you saying this forum knows about proof of posting but what about the people who don't know. Not everyone has the capability or tools to enable them to seek out accurate information to refute what the industry tells them...pcn/letters were sent you need to prove you didn't receive them. I'm convinced if the industry had to retain/provide evidence they sent pcns and letters the number stating these were not received would dramatically drop. It's crucial an effective service is put in place to monitor/enforce compliance with the new CoP as the code document on it's own won't clip the PPCs wings.

Like dx your negativity towards the petition is disappointing but your signing FTMDave is appreciated and I thank you. I applaud the work of parking forums but do feel to stop PPCs wheedling out of being effectively regulated an increased number of voices persistently shouting in gov's direction about PPCs poor practices is needed.

Same statement provided in your 3 replies but you give no reasons why you feel this is the case. Think we'll leave it there...

I'm sorry I don't understand what this PPC mail delivery issue has to do with councils. Any issues with Council's parking is the responsibility of DfT the private parking industry problems lie with DLUHC.

Seems in your opinion we just have to accept this. You may view that petition as a waste of time but this problem wastes motorists time. They are forced to find time to challenge/complain (if they have the ability/tools to do so) a pcn not received or delivered outwith the specified time limits to a number of services...PPC, appeals service, debt agency, court, ATA, DVLA, supervisory bodies and MP. PPCs review sites are littered with people saying first letter received states charge now due is £170 as earlier offers of £60/£100 were not replied to or paid. Petitions can influence if supported... Paula Vennells only offered to return her CBE after 1.2 million people signed a petition saying she should be stripped of it.

Spotted this online gov petition...if you agree please sign...closes June 2024 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/652355 Many posters here will be aware of or experienced firsthand the distressing problems caused by not receiving or late delivery of pcns/letters from PPCs. This longstanding mail delivery problem is clearly not something the PPCs and two ATAs want to investigate or action by implementing one of the known measures available to correct it. The DLUHC are currently addressing what they describe as "market failure" of the private parking industry. Whilst the PPCs mail delivery problem has been highlighted to this gov dept by myself and I believe others in our parking consultation responses we need to continue to press the gov to address it. A petition with lots of signings is another way to achieve this. Thank you for your time and to anyone who signs.
