Andrew Ranger MP backs plans to crackdown on unjust parking fines
The Labour government has launched a consultation to protect drivers with plans to raise standards across the private parking industry unveiled through a new strengthened Private Parking Code of Practice. Over 35 million people across the UK rely on their cars for everyday life – from commuting to caring responsibilities – but the fear of being hit with unfair parking charges has eroded trust between drivers and some operators. To better support drivers in vulnerable or stressful situations, such as attending hospital appointments, a new rule is being considered that would uphold appeals where drivers had no reasonable choice but to breach parking terms. Proposals will ensure fair treatment for drivers and introduce 'common-sense' standards across the industry, including clear signage and mandatory grace periods. These measures will help prevent charges caused by issues like payment machine errors, accidental typos, or poor mobile signal. Previous Governments have tried to legislate but never succeeded. The Parking Act 2019 was introduced as a Private Member's Bill in 2017, and the previous government's Private Parking Code of Practice was laid in 2022 but withdrawn later that year following a legal challenge from the parking industry. Wrexham MP Andrew Ranger said: 'Too many of my constituents in Wrexham have been ripped off by rogue parking operators who make it difficult for motorists to comply with the terms and conditions and leave them open to parking charges and escalating costs. "Labour is acting to change that. Protecting motorists and holding operators to account." Read more At present, operators can avoid sanctions for poor practice, leaving motorists vulnerable to unfair or incorrect charges. The new compliance framework will aim to ensure accountability. Under proposals, operators who breach the code may lose access to DVLA data required to issue parking charges. The code will strike a balance - protecting motorists while enabling compliant operators to run efficient, value-for-money car parks. It marks another step the government is taking to repair Britain's transport and save people time and money, following the allocation of £1.6 billion funding this year to help local authorities resurface roads and fix the equivalent of up to seven million extra potholes, with an additional £24 billion set aside to build new roads and keep drivers moving over the next five years. The eight-week consultation also seeks views on: • Appropriate caps for parking charges and debt recovery fees • Improvements to second-stage appeals • Requirements for operators to share data with government to inform future updates to the Code The consultation is open until September 5 and is available on the Welsh Government website.

Increased demand for affordable housing in Torfaen
The borough council's planning policy did have a requirement, based on a local housing market assessment, of a need for 240 affordable homes to be built every year. The latest assessment, from 2023 and approved earlier this year by the Welsh Government, has seen that figure increase to 315 new affordable homes a year to meet the current shortfall and future predicted need over the five year period from 2023 to 2028. Previously the target required that 77 per cent of those homes would be available for social rented housing, usually through housing associations, and 23 per cent be intermediate or low cost home ownership below the market rate. The latest assessment has revised that balance to 65 per cent social housing and 35 intermediate/low cost. A report by Adrian Wilcock, the council's planning policy team leader, stated: 'These tenure changes and increased level of need are due to the continued rise of house / rental prices, more people applying to join the Housing Register and Low Cost Home Ownership Scheme, a fall in the annual turnover of social rented properties and increased levels of homelessness.' The full council agreed to update its supplementary planning guidance, which are updates to its agreed planning policy, to include the new target. The planning policy, the local development plan agreed in 2013, had set a target of building 4,700 homes over a 15 year period but the council said in October last year that target isn't expected to be met until either 2026 or 2027 as it was 601 homes shy of meeting it in April 2024. The total housing target required some 313 homes to be built every year for 15 years. The council has also agreed to update policies used to calculate the cost of building an affordable home and the value of making provision towards affordable housing, by housing developers, or payments made by them, to the council, in-lieu of providing affordable housing on their sites. The amount registered social landlords will have to pay housing developers is also covered by the updates and those payments are covered by the rents received, from tenants, over time. Those have been updated to reflect Welsh Government approved rent increases in April 2024 and April this year. The report said no registered social landlords objected to the increase and consider them affordable. It stated if the increases, due to rising building costs, weren't approved the number of affordable houses built on private developments could reduce.
