Government guidance
Read the latest Government guidance. As the UK moves to the next phase in its fight against coronavirus, the most important thing is to stay alert, control the virus, and in doing so, save lives.
This guidance applies in England – people in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland should follow the specific rules in those parts of the UK.
Free parking for all NHS staff
A new website enables NHS staff, health and social care workers and NHS volunteers (critical care workers) to find free parking locations quickly and easily, supporting government’s COVID 19 free parking scheme for critical workers. The new site is a joint collaboration between the BPA and our members Parkopedia, YourParkingSpace and JustPark and supported by the wider parking community.
Motorist enquires and complaints
Our role as an Accredited Trade Association is to investigate alleged breaches of our Approved Operator Scheme Code of Practice where evidence can be supplied.
It is important to note we are unable to investigate complaints that are not covered by our Approved Operator Scheme Code of Practice and nor are we able to become involved in the appeals process or compel our members to cancel a Parking Charge Notice.
- To submit an enquiry or make a complaint about a member of our Approved Operator Scheme please use our AOS enquiry/complaint form. This is the quickest way to contact us, and allows you to track your own case.
- To check the status of a case you’ve already submitted please use this form and include your email and case reference number.
