Rejected petition Free town centre parking for all staff working in town centres, uk

People who work in town centres should not have to pay for parking. Retail employees receive minimum wage and are then expected to pay parking charges just to go to work. It’s off putting on considering applications and takes salary from individuals and families

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Car parking charges are the responsibility of car park operators and your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
