    Technically they are not banning clamping in the UK, as Scotland has already the ban for the last 10 years or so, NI is not included in the ban I believe, so its England & Wales in the next couple of months I think.
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    Yes- Ni isn't included in the ban, so isn't UK wide, unfortunately!

    according to john redwood's blog the provisions of the freedom bill (which include private clamping) are about to be scaled back.

    if clamping stays in

    and

    if the provision goes through both houses unamended

    we'll have something to celebrate.

    cleggy will be larging it up soon (thurs?) so it's wait and see.
