flag UK private parking firms issued 68.4 million tickets since 2019 despite unenforced reforms, sparking calls for new rules to ensure fairness.

flag Private parking firms in the UK have issued about 76 million tickets since the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill was passed in March 2019, according to RAC Foundation analysis. flag The bill, meant to improve fairness and transparency, was withdrawn in 2022 after a legal challenge and never took effect. flag Data from the DVLA shows 68.4 million tickets were issued between April 2019 and September 2025. flag Critics cite issues like misleading signs, aggressive debt collection, and high fees, with the RAC Foundation warning profit motives may undermine fairness. flag The Labour government has launched a new consultation on a code of practice, aiming to protect motorists and improve standards. flag The British Parking Association supports updated guidelines but warns that lower fees could reduce compliance and increase disruption. flag A final decision is expected soon.
