What is the Welsh Government doing to stop inappropriate charges being levied by some private parking companies?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales | Answered on 09/09/2024
The Welsh Government is continuing its collaboration with the UK Government, which is in the process of developing a Private Parking Code of Practice. [Withdrawn] Private Parking Code of Practice - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
This code aims to regulate the practices of private parking companies, ensuring fairness for motorists. However, the code has been temporarily withdrawn for a review of the levels of private parking charges and additional fees. This review is crucial to ensure the new regulations are balanced and effectively protect consumers from unfair charges.
