Recent increases have made parking permits increasingly unaffordable. Residents should not face continual steep increases simply to park outside their own homes. While encouraging green transport is important, current permit charges unfairly penalise working families and households without realistic alternatives to car use. Parking outside your home should remain affordable for local residents.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":14,"created_at":"2026-05-21T20:13:11.689Z","updated_at":"2026-06-03T09:41:22.921Z","rejected_at":"2026-06-03T09:41:22.923Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-21T20:18:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP\r\n\r\nAnd you can find out how to ask your MP to present a public (paper) petition here: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/paper-petitions/\r\n\r\nYou could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you.
