What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Parliament laid the statutory Private Parking Code of Practice on October 20. The code applies to England, Wales, and Scotland, establishing rules that give drivers five minutes after entering a car park to decide whether to stay and 10 minutes to leave after a paid session ends. The code also allows charges to be cancelled on appeal in specified circumstances, such as a medical emergency or vehicle breakdown.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new code introduces significant regulatory changes for private parking companies. Failure to comply with the code's standards could result in operators losing access to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency's vehicle keeper database, which makes it harder to pursue payment. The code maintains the existing maximum parking charge of £100, but limits charges for minor errors to a maximum of £20 following an appeal.
