Windsor & Maidenhead have decided to outlaw Car Clampers in the Royal Borough.

They will face the threat of an ASBO! :T:j

About time too, let's hope it catches on in the rest of England & Wales (clamping is already illegal in Scotland):

HTH - let's send this info to our local Councils everyone, asking them to follow suit. IMHO the practice of car [STRIKE]napping[/STRIKE] clamping should have been made illegal when Scotland did so. :mad:
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Pity about the use of Fines and Illegally Parked but its a very good start. Lets hope they are successful and it migrates to other towns, could even put a stop to the Tower Hamlets scandel where they act as a ppc, clamp and tow privately.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
