I think I understand now there is a door which opens outwards has a small path and then onto a road where cars park. Can you put bollards on the road? Barriers at each side of the path where the staff would leave. I have seen both of these methods used.

We will not get our fire safety certificate if we do this as the emergency vehicles cannot then get close in and what is not to stop them from parking there in future still just because there are bollards? We even have yellow cross hatching and lots of signs but there is always someone who thinks they can park up there anyway - we cant allow this because everyone will try and do it to avert the pay and display car park.

How about a key-chain across the parking bays as it's only a small car park.

this is an access road that runs alongside the entrance to the station and has no bays.

So a key chain running along beside where they park (if they have the sole right to park there).

could you please go back and read the original problem rather then trying to offer your half arsed ideas which will not work as we will not get our fire certificate.

I have come to the conclusion that liam8282 works as a clamper or in the parking industry. Mate, you protest too much.

I shall be ignoring his posts now and hope he'll just go away as he's not making any valid contribution to this thread except to (deliberately) try to get away from the main discussion which is what we all think about clamping being banned.

Let's all compare gloats!

YAY! CLAMPERS ARE BANNED, NOW THEY'LL NEED TO GET A REAL JOB!

Come to whatever conclusion you like. But why you feel the need to come to any conclusion about what I do for a living, when we are discussing clamping on private land, is beyond me.

Did you ever stop to think I could be one of the people in a small business, who is continually plagued by people taking car parking spaces on private land. Thus damaging business and leading to the strong feeling against the people who are breaking the rules in the first place?

No, you didn't. You are so anti clampers, you have turned into some sort of Nazi clamper hater, which fuels your hatred for anybody who dares to have a differing opinion.

If you think a valid contribution to a discussion is:

"Let's all compare gloats!"

It just shows the level of some of the posters on this thread.

Who cares, it is your problem, you sort it out.

People have suggested alternatives, no one is condoning parking irresponsibly.

People have only suggested alternatives to a small specifically chosen number of circumstances.

How can you feasibly distinguish between parking irresponsibly?

The impression I get from this thread is, if there is a space, you can park in it. After all, nothing can be done about it.

So that now goes for all parking spaces in private car parks, such as mother and child spaces, disabled bays etc.

One person may truly believe that parking in a mother and child space or disabled space is not irresponsible. So now it is a question of what a person thinks is right and wrong......... But at the end of the day, nothing can be done about it.

You can't pick and choose where it is relevant, to suit your current argument.

This is how it has always been. The law is the law.

I know nobody can stop me parking in a disabled spot, but it doesn't mean I do so. I think most people would avoid doing so because of the dirty looks you'd get as you stroll to the front of the store.

Maybe, the £50 fine and wheel clamp also had something to do with it?

Then again, the dirty looks, yes that must be it.
