Some of you will be aware that there has been some confusion about free parking for key workers at local railway stations.
The Department for Transport has taken over control of parking fees during the Coronavirus crisis and electronic parking surveillance equipment is switched on.
However, it has agreed that rail operators (in our case Govia Thameslink Railway - GTR) can now offer free parking to key workers on a case by case basis if a constituent has been in touch with their MP.
In order to do this, key workers requiring free parking at our local stations should contact my office at the following email address oweng@parliament.uk with their
1/ Name
2/ Employer / key worker role
3/ email address
4/ Vehicle registration number.
We will then ensure that GTR has your details and does not issue you with any parking penalty notices.
