For those interested in reaction to the wheel clamping on private land ban that I announced on Monday – here is the only poll I could find.

No-one is saying that people should not pay a reasonable FEE for the service of parking, paid to the landowner/agent/retailer entitled to it. You know, the ones that actually own and/or maintain the car park, or who have an office or shop, manage flats, or provide a service at the site.
I can see a lot of the clampers on here are dyslexic so I will try to spell it out clearly for you all, what the problem is with your so-called ‘industry’.
What people object to is the idea of being FINED a ridiculous amount by a third party parasite company leeching off the back of legitimate hardworking people.
And if you think the Freedom Bill is actually going to be passed with registered keeper responsibility for your cronies’ exorbitant fines (hiding under the guise of Parking Charge Notices, deliberately named to confuse people into thinking they are a real PCN) then you have another think coming.
Good luck at the job centre everyone.
THE IDEA OF TICKETING A VEHICLE AND FINING THE REGISTERED KEEPER IS A LOT LESS HASSLE THAN PUTTING A CLAMP ON A VEHICLE AND YOU DON’T GET DIRTY
Responsible clamping firms do not provide free services in fact quite the contrary. Responsible clamping firms do not offer kickbacks quite the contrary.
Unlike the bright yellow clamps that stand out a mile and catch the perpetrator; the ticket in many cases will catch the innocent oblivious registered keeper, but “oblivious to the parking contravention” is not a Defence.
You will certainly see an increase in parking enforcement under ticketing or should we say “trial by ordeal”.
