Increasingly, as the BPA works on raising standards within the parking industry, the Association is asked for comment by the Press. As a result the Association has a dedicated press office.

Our press office is only able to answer queries from the media, and not the public. If you are a member of the public, your query should be answered here.

• What issues do the BPA comment on?
• Do the BPA hold parking statistics?
• Contacting the Press Office
• Information about the Approved Operator Scheme

What issues do the BPA comment on?

---

Parking industry related issues such as:

• on-street parking enforcement
• car park safety
• abuse towards those who work in the parking industry
• skills and qualifications 
• raising standards within the industry
• industry practices, including contract issues
• the role of parking in traffic management

Whilst the BPA is pleased to comment on any of the above, we do not provide comment on individual parking cases.
