Drivers will be given greater protection from “rogue” private parking firms as part of a new shake-up, including a grace period for lateness and a reduction in fines.
The new measures will include the maximum fine motorists can be hit with being slashed 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, under the proposals.
