This petition was submitted during the 2020-2024 Conservative government
Rejected petition Review local authorities statutory powers around residents parking charges.
Local authorities seem to use car parking and especially residents/buisness car parking as a cash cow, they inveribly have '1 size fits' all policies which don't fit all scenarios and generally local authorities seem very draconian and not fair to those who live where they are being charged.
More details
The government need to introduce rules and regulations which councils need to work within as residents and business owners/workers are being continually punished by complex parking permit rules seemingly there only to be a cash cow to local authorities.
We are in a cost of living crisis yet parking permits continue to rise, some authorities have introduced 'digital permits' with the nuiances and cost not deemingly democratically voted on by local residents.
