WARNING Avoid Changegate Car Park, Haworth. Notorious for Clamping

Blueblade

Been up there today and had a quick butchers at changegate car park.
Saw two blokes in a landrover handing out parking tickets like confetti, and clearly standing over cars clock-watching.. you'd think they'd have better things to do on a sunday..

Be interesting on how they plan to enforce this, wish I could go there we will no doubt get the first victims shortly, surely people are not going to pay £150 blindly?

thanks for coming back but they've got nothing better to do on any day of the week, the unwashed sphincters.

as said: we need a few to call by* and detail evans' newly acquired methods; methinks the clamping ban is going to seriously hit his cashflow so it's pretty much a given that he'll play fast and loose.

sorry to spell out the obvious to some.

as for the landrover: someone mentioned elsewhere that it's green-coloured and untaxed (fair guess that it doesn't leave the park).

*my only issue with is: some granny will get herself all beat up, pay and not eat properly for a month.

Someone who lives in the area needs to get cracking on a campaign to get local shops etc. to put up notices and hand out flyers telling people that these tickets don't need to be paid, and that in fact he doesn't even have any means of finding out who the RK's are.

Alternatively, get a ticket and sit it out. He can't block them in (call police) he can't officially get the details and if he does then dob him in. Mind you if he has heavies doing the tickets and he gets the address!!!

I checked the sign-age this weekend and it says something along the lines of £150 penalty, reduced to £75 if paid within 7 days or £60 if paid to the "parking attendant" immediately.
I've absolutely no doubt that bully boy tactics are being used to try to get the £60 there and then. My advice to anyone who genuinely feels they've been unjustly treated is DON'T PAY, DON'T TALK TO THEM OR SIGN A THING.

You kidding right ? They have signs with such things on ? Hope somebody will take images of those signs they are not in the BPAs AOS so they cannot chase it up at all, using intimidation or blocking in would be illegal.

OMG so that's it! And you can just imagine the pressure exerted on drivers as they return to their cars and are 'persuaded' to cough up £60 before the 'fine' goes up.

:mad:

Someone HAS to go and get one of these soon!!

Half_way

would it be possible for them/him to block someone in until they pay the £60, if they refuse, call the police for theft ( of goods/services) then unless the indivdual pays up, they are charged by the local police?
