Government code aims to stop unfair parking charges

The UK government is launching a consultation on a new Private Parking Code of Practice to prevent unfair charges by private car park operators after drivers like Rosey Hudson were asked to pay exorbitant fees for minor infractions. The code aims to bring oversight and transparency to the parking industry, addressing misleading tactics and confusing processes. Concerns about high parking charges, such as those reaching thousands of pounds, have prompted the need for stricter regulations and accountability to protect drivers from unjust penalties.
