I’ve launched a campaign against rip-off private car park vendors after hearing from several local people who have wrongly received steep parking fines.

Surprisingly, private parking enforcement companies are not regulated. In March 2019, Parliament passed a Bill instructing the Government to introduce new rules governing private cark parks. However, as of yet, Ministers have failed to do so and no new laws have been put in place. As a result, car park vendors are continuing to issue bogus fines to drivers.

The Government needs to take action to properly regulate the industry but, in the meantime, I’ll be doing what I can locally to put pressure on these rip-off merchants.

Local people can help me to name and shame the worst offenders by completing my survey below.
