<p>Government does not hold figures on fines levied by private car park operators.</p><p>At
present, the private parking industry is self-regulating. However, the Parking (Code
of Practice) Act will lead to the creation of an independent Code of Practice for
private parking companies and a “one-stop-shop” for private sector parking appeals.</p><p>The
Code will be developed in consultation with stakeholders but Government fully expects
the Code to cover such areas as the clear display of terms and conditions for consumers,
grace periods to allow motorists time to pay and leave the car park, professional
standards of behaviour expected of parking operators and a fair process for appealing
parking charges.</p>
