<p>The Government does not have current plans to update guidance on on-street parking.</p><p>The
Government did support a private members bill to improve the situation for motorists
in relation to private parking companies. The Parking (Code of Practice) Act received
Royal Assent in 2019. This Act will lead to the creation of an independent code of
practice for private parking companies and a “one-stop-shop” for parking appeals.</p><p>The
Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government laid an advisory Code of Practice
for private parking companies in the House of Commons Library. On 3 November 2019,
the government announced that the British Standards Institution (BSI) will write the
Code in consultation with consumer and industry groups. The Government has committed
to developing the final code this year, and will carry out a full public consultation,
to give the parking industry, the public and other interested parties the opportunity
to have a say.</p>
