Make parking free for students on university campus.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on Parliament to:

Require universities to offer free student parking.

Prevent institutions from increasing tuition to offset costs.

Eliminating parking fees would reduce financial stress and promote fairness in education. We urge action to support students

We urge the Government to require universities to provide free parking for students. Many rely on personal vehicles due to poor public transport, long commutes, or balancing work and studies. High parking fees add unnecessary financial strain on students already struggling with tuition and living costs.

Free parking would improve access to education, especially for low-income and disabled students. Expensive fees force students to park off-campus, causing safety concerns and delays.

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 free parking on university campuses are a matter for universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
