What the petition asks
Currently it is illegal for hgv drivers to park on double yellow lines at night in industrial estates. Making it harder to find parking overnight when out of drivers hours. Make this double yellows legal for hgv drivers at night in industrial estates
Sometimes it is impossible to find parking at night. Either at services or on industrial estates with no yellow lines due to car drivers parking there. Especially as most places have the yellow lines for the day due to deliveries etc. But these don’t always happen in the middle of the night
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local parking restrictions and exemptions are a matter for local authorities and not the UK Government or Parliament.
