BPA removes upper "limit" on clamping charges

Try to ignore how the article labels the charges as "penalties":
Car clamp industry abolishes upper limit on removal fees
Not a real surprise when you consider that, "the BPA represents, promotes and influences the best interests of the parking and traffic management sectors throughout the UK and Europe. As well as this work, the BPA provides its members with a range of benefits all aimed at helping the professional in their day to day work."
On a lighter note, this is another good reason to keep bolt cutters in the boot (LIDL currently selling them for £6-ish).
I'd urge anyone reading this to take a look at the below post and click thanks if you agree (full details in the first post):

Move to Scotland, then you don't have to worry about it...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Would love to but can't afford to clean the moat around the mansion so can't sell it yet.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

This is just the clampers milking it for all it's worth before the possibility of them being regulated properly comes in.
If you are that bothered about them and you want to do something, then you NEED to take part in the consultations that are open to all:
