I bet he has something good up his sleeve to compensate his big loss of income!

To anyone local enough, which I am not, how about arranging a nice lunchtime meet up with all your cars, in his car park for a leisurely picnic on Monday 1st October? Or on the first weekend in October?

All park about 2 inches over the bay line, all in a row. Then all laugh and slow-hand-clap the thugs when they appear?!

Changing to a pay-on-exit system with a massive hike in the regular parking fees.

Many people have said that the police have been powerless to do anything about the clamping. Well the old guy selling the books at the entrance claims all the money goes to a charity (and by the sounds of it keeps changing the name of the charity - he told us it was a homeless kids charity in Bradford). Surely the police could check whether the charities mentioned exist and whether this money has gone to charity and if it hasn't then it is fraud, plain and simple. Could somebody local go to the car park, check the exact charity name and pass the details to the police for verification?

just did a quick trawl and found that haworth has at least 3 other parks, with the museum charging just £1.80 for 3hrs.

looks like evans will have to 'mark to market' or look over a park of last resort, when all other parks are full. either way his putrid little cashstream becomes a trickle.

unless.........he's got a cunning plan more cunning than a fox with a Phd in cunning from cambridge.

its

As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University

which subsequently became

as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning

Eventually the word 'cunning' starts to lose all meaning.............

Pay on exit maybe, but what's the bets on not allowing a car to leave without coughing up the price of a fake pcn with the barriers ?

That would still be illegal, as it would amount to immobilization and possibly false imprisonment.
