Government plans to crackdown rogue parking firms

“ROGUE” parking firms will be prohibited from obtaining driver data and proceeding charges as a section of plans to prevent “unscrupulous operators”.

The government has proved it will brace new legislation intended at increasing standards within parking firms.

Sajid Javid, the communities secretary, stated the legislation will ensure “fair, clear and consistent” regulation of the parking industry.

He also said: “That is why government is putting the brakes on these rogue operators and backing new laws that will put a stop to aggressive behaviour and provide a simpler way for drivers to appeal fines.”

Drivers’ increasing disquiet about the rules on parking are underlined by figures showing nearly 10,000 people approached the Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance on parking tickets last year.
