Re: Government to regulate parking

If they are bringing them into force in April 2016 then they must be published in draft form already ? Is this the result of last years consultation?

So its the 10 minute leaway thing then, unless there's something else lurking about the place.

Will have to have a search for more tomorrow.

Possible they have some draft SIs ready to go but not put up yet.

Re: Government to regulate parking

The Consumer Rights Act has a bunch of stuff that comes into force in April 2016 - but mainly on how to weigh a pineapple type stuff - nothing that seems directly relevant to parking.
