Change the decision to scrap cash payment meters for parking in towns & cities.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want them to keep cash parking meters in towns and cities across the UK.
Lots of people across the country are fully against the decision to scrap cash parking meters.

It's discrimination against older people or people who simply prefer cash.

We do not wish to become a cashless society not matter what some may say.

There is a vast amount of people in this country who are not tech savvy and they should not need to learn all about tech because they 'have to'

We petition the government to change their mind on this issue and stop any dissemination that may occur.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about payment methods for car parks are a matter for individual car park operators, not the UK Government or Parliament.
