Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies is gathering details of some of the issues people in the constituency have encountered through private parking companies and has also launched a survey in relation to one car park in Rhyl where there has been an abundance of problems reported.
James is regularly contacted by constituents who have received what they consider to be unfair PCNs, and in particular has received a number of complaints regarding the Morfa Hall Car Park in Rhyl.
He has therefore compiled a survey in relation to this car park, but is also seeking feedback on PCNs more generally to feed back to the UK Government to support the development of a Private Parking Code of Practice.
He said:
“Over the past few years, I have been approached by a number of constituents regarding parking charge notices (PCNs) they have received.
“Regrettably, there are certain car parks where greater problems are reported; Morfa Hall is one particular such car park. While I have been assisting constituents in challenging contested PCNs individually, I have compiled a survey to gather more information about difficulties encountered at this car park, to inform my future actions. I would encourage people to complete the survey if they have experienced what they consider to be an unfair PCN at Morfa Hall car park.

“I am pleased that the Government has recognised a wider issue with the actions of some private parking companies. The Government has now published a Call for Evidence to support the development of a Private Parking Code of Practice.
“This can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/private-parking-code-of-practice-call-for-evidence
“I am putting together a letter to submit to the Call for Evidence, detailing some of the issues my constituents have encountered through private parking companies. If you would like me to submit particular points of view, please email me at [email protected].
“As ever, If feel you have received an unfair PCN, and have not yet paid it, then please do email [email protected] and I would be happy to make representations on your behalf.”
