We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about free parking on university campuses are a matter for universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Background
We urge the Government to require universities to provide free parking for students. Many rely on personal vehicles due to poor public transport, long commutes, or balancing work and studies. High parking fees add unnecessary financial strain on students already struggling with tuition and living costs.
Free parking would improve access to education, especially for low-income and disabled students. Expensive fees force students to park off-campus, causing safety concerns and delays.
