Stop BCP council charging a day rate for Boscombe Undercliff Drive parking

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

BCP Council have parking charges on Boscombe Undercliff Drive between 2nd July to 2nd September 2026. If you arrive before 2pm you must pay for 16 hours of parking, there is no option to pay per hour. It is unfair and ridiculous no one is going to the beach for 16 hours.

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 parking charges at Boscombe Undercliff are a matter for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.

You could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue.
