Right to Repair - petition - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

As you may know a Right to Repair law came into force in July, however it is specific to a limited range of white goods and a few other bits and bobs. Also it has restrictions as to who can be provided with certain items and information. This is deemed to be for safety reasons but may also restrict access to even trained qualified individuals. Also it permits manufacturers to bundle parts and to over-price parts.

I stumbled across the existance of a new petition that members may have an interest in signing up to.

I have no connection with this petition movement.

The link to the petition is here:
