The legal standing for Parking Enforcement Details
Wheel Clamping
Wheel clamping is completely legal in England and Wales.
Until the Court of Appeal's landmark judgment in ARTHUR v ANKER no one was quite sure what English law had to say about the clamping of vehicles on private land.
This case stated the requirements for wheel clamping
Wheelclamping signs must be in place stating that the owner is giving consent for vehicles to be clamped if illegally parked
The amount must be clearly stated on the sign board
There must be clear arrangements for release of the vehicle, for example listing a telephone number
Wheelclamping in Scotland is completely illegal .
Removal
Removal is completely legal as long as the signage follows the above guidelines, and gives the company the authority to remove the vehicle.
Penalty Charge Notice
Civil Parking tickets are now a recogised measure to reduce illegal parking. The DVLA allows parking enforcement companies such as our selves to apply for the details of the registered keeper of the vehicle.
We average a good enforcement rate.
These are mainly effective on sites such as Shopping centres, Retail Parks and Hospital Sites.
