Ban parking time restrictions at motorway services

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to times needed for EV charging and the demands at the charging station within services, and people requiring downtime on long journeys we want parking time limits at services to be banned.

I request immediate action to reform parking arrangements at motorway services. We believe the 2 or 3 hour parking time limit at many services is now massively outdated, with not enough infrastructure for a fast turnaround in the services with the lack of EV chargers and the quantity of people needing downtime.
