THE NEW PARKING PLATFORM HAS KICKED IN, BRINGING HUGE RELIEF FOR MILLIONS HIT WITH UNFAIR FINES, AFTER A DECISION FOR THE LABOUR PARTY GOVERNMENT. 06:57, 22 May 2025 A major parking change

has been introduced for ALL drivers in England. The new parking platform has kicked in, bringing huge relief for millions hit with unfair fines, after a decision for the Labour Party

government. Labour said it would soon roll out the National Parking Platform to allow drivers to pay for their parking on their preferred app, rather than having to download multiple

different payment apps. Anthony Eskinazi, Founder and President of JustPark, is one of the newly elected directors of the National Parking Platform. Eskinazi said: "By allowing drivers

to choose their preferred parking app, it eliminates unnecessary complexity and makes parking simpler and more convenient. It is ultimately about giving drivers genuine choice over their

preferred app. READ MORE UK FACES 27C HEATWAVE NEXT WEEK WITH 33 COUNTIES IN ENGLAND SET TO SIZZLE "JustPark is proud to have contributed to shaping the platform's vision, and as a

company, we will continue to support its roll-out across the country, led by the British Parking Association." Rod Dennis, senior policy officer at the RAC, said: "Paying to park

a car should be one of the simplest things any driver does, but things have got much more complicated in recent years - a point demonstrated by the fact there are so many different mobile

parking apps. "If the arrival of a National Parking Platform removes that hassle, it’s definitely a welcome move. But the key will be ensuring as many car park operators as possible

sign up to the system." Labour Party Minister of the Future of Roads, Lilian Greenwood, said: "This government is on the side of drivers and dedicated to giving everyone simpler,

more flexible parking. "I’m delighted that this fantastic project is being taken on by the parking sector with no extra cost to taxpayers. Article continues below "This is public

infrastructure done right: built by government, shaped with councils and now delivered by the sector that knows it best, at a time where we’re investing a record £1.6 billion through our

Plan for Change, to mend our pothole-ridden roads that damage cars and £4.8 billion to deliver new road infrastructure that will better connect people." BPA Chief Executive, Andrew

Pester, said: "Today’s announcement marks the result of 6 years of dedicated work by our parking sector to make paying for parking easier. "We’ve strongly supported the National

Parking Platform from the start, so we’re thrilled with this outcome and excited to collaborate with the Department for Transport and the new NPP company to create a better parking

experience for all drivers."
