Call You and Yours: Private Parking Firms

Available for over a year

Its one of the issues that listeners contact You and Yours about the most. So today in our phone-in we want to hear about your experience of private parking firms. A record 11 million Parking Charge Notices were issued to drivers in the year leading up to March 2023, with an estimated cost of more than £1.1 billion. The Government has tried to regulate the sector. Last year it introduced a code of practice which was meant to have the interests of safe motorists at its heart. But four months later that code was withdrawn after challenges from the private parking companies. The government is consulting on next steps - meanwhile the number of Parking Charge Notices continues to rise. So what's been your recent experience with private parking firms? Get in touch. Email us now - you and yours @ bbc.co.uk or call us on Tuesday from 11am on 03700 100 444 PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CATHERINE EARLAM
