Rejected petition Remove height barriers and laws preventing overnight sleeping from car parks
Local authorities have taken to preventing camper-vans from using their car parks by implementing height barriers.
Firstly I want law to remove these as they prejudice people with certain vehicles.
Secondly remove laws preventing overnight resting in these restricted car parks and parking bays.
More details
I would like government to prevent the use of height barriers that stop all taller (vans) vehicles using car parks of the land when there is no need for a height barrier. Equality!!
I would also like the government to prevent the no overnight sleeping in such facilities without implementing fines as we are encouraged to rest if we are tired from driving, but invariably fined ourselves financially penalised by local authorities for doing so. Perhaps a stay for 24hr and no return law within 48hrs
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about restrictions on parking are a matter for individual local authorities and operators of private car parks, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
