PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Parking: Fines (22 March 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether the Private Parking Code of Practice makes provision for freezing Penalty Charge Notices at the discounted rate throughout the duration of an appeal.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Section 8.3 of the Code of Practice sets out the process for appealing private parking charges. Parking operators must provide a process to appeal against a notice of parking charge and, where the parking operator rejects an appeal, they must provide the option to either pay the parking charge or appeal the decision to the Appeals Service.

The Code was laid before Parliament on 7 February 2022 and is available online at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/private-parking-code-of-practice.
