A record 11.1 million tickets were handed out in the 12 months to the end of March
Drivers have been hit by a 29% annual rise in the number of parking tickets issued by private companies in Britain, new figures show. , according to analysis of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency data by the PA news agency and motoring research charity the RAC Foundation.
The code was originally laid before Parliament in February 2022 but was withdrawn by the Government five months later following a legal challenge by parking companies. A new call to evidence on the issue closes on October 8. “As the private parking minister recognised recently, most motorists do not choose to break the rules deliberately. Amid the ongoing cost-of-living crisis it is implausible that millions of drivers would knowingly want to risk running up a charge for as much as £100.
The introduction of the code was led by levelling up minister Dehenna Davison until she resigned earlier this month citing an ongoing battle with chronic migraine. She was replaced by Jacob Young.
