Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what representations his Department has received on overpayments to parking payment machines which do not give change.

To date, the Department for Communities and Local Government has not received any representations regarding overpayments to parking payment machines.

The government recognises the important role parking provision plays in successful town centres, and encourages all local authorities to provide flexible payment arrangements, including change from meters, to encourage more visitors into our town centres.
