Burnham vows end to 'rip-off parking charges' under new rules

Andy Burnham and the Government are introducing new rules to end rip-off private parking charges. Motorists in England, Scotland, and Wales will receive enhanced protections to dispute unreasonable fines. Key measures include a guaranteed five-minute decision period upon arrival and a ten-minute grace period to leave car parks after a session ends without facing penalties. These changes aim to address current penalties that are viewed as too harsh on drivers using private land across the region.
