Private parking fine cap cut by 50% in England and Wales excluding London

The Independent says Motorists will receive greater protection from “aggressive debt collection and unreasonable fees” through a 50% cut to the private parking fine cap, the Government has said.

Under a new Parking Code of Practice introduced by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on Monday, the maximum fine will be reduced from £100 to £50 for most cases in England and Wales excluding London.

Private car parks will also have to display prices more clearly, use a fairer appeal system and give drivers a 10-minute grace period for lateness, according to the new rules.
