Has the private parking code of practice been scrapped?

I've just come across the headline: "Private Parking Code of Practice scrapped." Seriously, after all the hype, all the waiting, all the hope of a fairer deal for motorists and protection from predacious private parking companies Sir Greg Knight's Code of Parking Bill has been dumped? Please tell me this isn't true.

If it is true, I have to conclude this government couldn't be relied on to pass water.

Yes, the Government has temporarily withdrawn it, pending a review of the levels of private parking charges and additional fees.

In your answer 'Is it legal to park on the pavement' you state "if he is wholly on the pavement it is less clear if he would be given a ticket or not." Can you elaborate on this, please? My understanding...
Is it possible to ask to get double yellow lines painted outside our house to stop inconsiderate parking blocking our driveway?
