| Here is an early day motion by MPs Bob Spink | |
| and Lindsay Hoyle |
| * 2 |
| ” That this House notes the policy of train operating companies (TOCs) to make extortionate increases in car parking charges, including in NCP operated car parks; for instance, parking at Leigh-on-Sea station over the last three years was increased by 25 per cent. to £700 for an annual season ticket; believes TOCs are abusing their monopoly position on parking at rail stations and thereby both profiteering and discouraging commuters from travelling by train; calls on TOCs to explain the basis of the latest increases and to stop abusing their monopoly position, particularly at this time of economic difficulty; and calls on the Government to investigate the increases.”
Can we all sign it? |
