What the petition asks
Parking operators issue 23,000 charge notices daily. Many motorists who receive one will suffer the same unjust practices and repetitive procedure errors others in the past have.
We need an inquiry to identify why when a current enforceable AOS Code of Practice governing the conduct and operations of BPA and IPC members has been in place for many years. By scrutinising past events and decisions the inquiry would establish the facts, determine accountability and make recommendations. Motorists deserve to know why this happened.
The Government's new The Parking Code of Practice emerged in Feb 2022 only to be withdrawn (pending further consultation) after legal action from parking operators unhappy their charge cost was not increased to £120 and no additional fees could be added.
