Shock reveal BPA/IPC joint parking code. RAC flabbergasted, pensioner launches petition.

The newly created gov petition 'Immediately Reintroduce Private Parking Code of Practice' is from Stanley Luckhurst, the 85-year-old old Excel Parking took to court. Excel lost the case and the pensioner's been campaigning for regulation of PPCs since this unpleasant experience. https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/24085471.gerrards-cross-pensioner-takes-nightmarish-private-parking/

I would urge anyone on this forum who supports the petition statement "We believe the private parking industry is trending toward anarchy and must be brought to order by re-launching the Government Code immediately" to sign and share it. 168 signings at 4pm today https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/660922

If the gov new parking code is not launched before parliament dissolves (for the general election) then the legislation is at great risk of being shelved. And we'll be stuck with ATAs new joint code which does not address motorists issues such as a cap on parking charges, debt recovery or an independent appeal process.  https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/wash-up/

The UK Parliament petitions website closed today. It will reopen sometime after the general election when a new Petitions Committee is appointed. This means all open petitions have unfortunately had to close early.

 

The petitions 

Immediately Reintroduce the Parking Code of Practice was only open a few wks but managed to collect 374 signatures  (His Change.Org petition has 1455 signings)

Require communications from Private Parking companies to be traceable/trackable collected 300 signatures in the 5mths it was open.

Thank you to anyone on the CAG forum who signed.

 

It seems the Parking Code of Practice has only temporarily been shelved until a new LUHC ministerial team is appointed. Let's hope the new ministers can consult and implement this code quicker than the previous ministers.

Agree and I can see the BPA/IPC shoving their new single Code under the noses of the new ministers saying don't waste any more time with your code use ours.

That we would need to stop since their current Codes of Conduct are already unlawful and unfair. Unlawful as both advocate an extra £60 o £70 additional fees that none of them seem able to identify what they are for.

Unfair since both want to include the 5 minute minimum Consideration  period into the period parking period when motorists decide to stay. But the CT is designed for motorists to read the T&Cs BEFORE parking so why is it then decided as parking after they opt to stay.

Be interesting to see what other unfair terms their new joint CoP provides for motorists when BPA/IPC publish at the end of June.

And as it will be implemented before the gov CoP we'll see if it reduces number of pcns issued and number of motorists complaints about the private parking industry's unfair code breach practices.
