Parking code enforcement framework
We are consulting on new measures to improve the regulation of the private parking industry.
In response to widespread concerns about the poor practice and behaviour of some parking operators, the government supported the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, which was introduced by Sir Greg Knight MP.
It will lead to the creation of an independent Code of Practice for private parking companies. The draft of this is being consulted on by the British Standards Institute.
The Code, however, is only one part of a wider regulatory framework. The government is consulting on the Code Enforcement Framework and this consultation seeks views on how we can improve the regulation of the private parking industry for the benefit of consumers, parking operators and landowners alike.
