Stop private parking (PCN) companies from operating in publicly accessible areas

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the issuing of parking fines from small parking control companies on little stretches of private land that are on or near publicly accessible roads, shops, business or otherwise. Solely private parking, surrounded by private land not immediately adjacent to public land should be monitored.
The parking companies fine people that genuinely don't breach there guidelines, make it difficult to appeal and then damage peoples credit score if they don't agree with there appeal. This industry should not exist to the private domain and should only be managed by people without the biased incentive to hand out penalties and fines.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Parking enforcement on private land is a matter for landowners and not for the UK Government or Parliament to decide.
