There is a lot of guff on this thread about how bad the clampers are etc.

But not one mention about those people who are breaking the rules and parking on other peoples land without permission. Except for my own attempts.

Surely if you did not park on private land in the first place, you would never come across a clamper?

If this was any other debate, ignorance is never an acceptable form of defence.

You've really no idea how the clampers work have you? Seriously, you don't do you?

Apparently only because it is something that is not agreed with by the majority.

You have not been in this forum long. I have.

:T, I am sure you will get your long service certificate in the post any time soon.

All of the regulars here do not condone abusing private land and any restrictions the landlords have. People who have come here and boasted of it have received short shrift in this forum from the regulars.

Well I agree with that, what are you trying to get at here?

It is the remedy that people here object to. Clamping cowboy companies that rob people and PPC scammers.

I also agreed with that.

What I wanted to know was what exactly people are now supposed to do with private land, who they don't want people without permission parking on?

The only solution I can see being offered is to issue unenforceable tickets which can simply be ignored.

& you clearly don't have anything to add to this discussion.

Exactly ? make it so people you don't want parking there cannot park there .How they choose to do that is their problem , as it should be as they are the ones that want something .

does this answer your question ?

I am beginning to see a recurring trend in this thread.

By any chance have all the posters on here been clamped for parking on private land before?

There are plenty of solutions. They can install barriers, they can install retractable poles that come with a lock, they can install other devices that restrict access but do not come with barriers. For example something that will retract on the ground once a swipe has been presented to an electronic pole. My Dad's Golf club have one.

There are plenty of ways. To claim otherwise is stupidity.

Speaking for myself I have never been clamped (private or otherwise) and never received a parking ticket (private or otherwise). The impression you give is of being pedantic for the sake of it. Indeed people will stop engaging with you and you can carry on frothing and enjoying your own form of onanism on this forum.

Daddy's Golf club have one, so that means every business should?

What about a small shop that has parking for 10 cars outside? Staff need 4 spaces, customers 6.

Could a small shop install barriers and retractable poles? Would a customer wait while you fiddled with a pole so they could park?

Do customers have swipe cards to visit your shop?


Your whole comment is stupid because you are too narrow minded to think that all business can implement such ideas to stop people abusing their parking spaces.


Oh wait, they could employ a full time parking attendant couldn't they? Yes the small shop could do that.
