MSE News: Wheel clamping ban moves closer

Which various answers have I been given? There have been no practical solutions offered on this thread, apart from, "get a gate." Which is not possible for me to do. Apart the costs involved, I cannot get permission to enclose the forecourt, either from the council, or the freeholders. I currently have a solution, but there are proposals to end that very practical and effective remedy.
All I have done is highlighted the difficulties businesses owners have with these lazy, tight gits who trespass on our private property. I then get abuse and derision from the ones who obviously egularly park on private property every Saturday afternoon, to do their shopping, not giving a second thought to depriving others of trade.
You are clearly not reading this thread then, I have seen various solutions on here, you claim to not be able to get permission, have even tried? Most solutions don't even need permission, and as I said you need to find the answers not us, it's you who are in fact lazy and tightfisted, and there is no wonder you are getting ridiculed on here as people can see that you are not equipped to handle a situation that can have simple answers.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors.

I already have a solution. If this incompetent government want to stop me from clamping trespassers on my property, I will just park around them and they can just sing for it. But apparently, the keyboard lawyers (who have no idea what they are talking about) seem to think that is illegal. I have just pointed out the issues that business face everyday and you and others find that to be wrong. You are the ones who are telling me I can't do tings, so the onus is on you to come with an alternative solution.A shame you have no ideas at all, apart from clamping cures everything, as I mentioned previously, clamping is being made illegal, whining on here won't change anything, and as I mentioned, we are not here to offer solutions to someone who is basically to damned lazy to even do a search on the net for a solution, basically you deserve everything you get as you are fundamentally not equipped to do business.
The OP was espousing the joys of this proposal, I replied to the contrary, that is what happens on discussion boards, if you don't like that, I suggest you find something else to do with your time.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

Apart from, "get a gate," what other solutions have been offered?
Oh, I forgot the, "ask politely" one as well. LOL
Yeah, right.
So, what else has been suggested, because I can't find them.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

You jesting right ? The onus is on landowners to find solutions for their car parks, not us on a forum to help lazy business people who can't be bothered to find solutions, obviously you will not last long in business as you can't think out of the box, nevermind others who can will replace you!Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors.

I believe the Police already like to stick £60 fines on cars that cause an obstruction so as to prohibit access to the public highway, and will even tow cars away that are causing such an obstruction at cost to the owner.
Not on private property they can't.
And don't bother with the "public place" concept either. There is no general invitation for the public to enter my property. And as the vehicle's can be moved at will, it is not deprivation of property either. If the police want to tow anything, they can tow the offending vehicle. However, if you want to argue the point, how about pointing out the specific section and paragraph of the Road Traffic Act which says I can't park vehicles around one that is trespassing on my property.Regards some of the previous posts.
If you pay to use a space and the car park owner you pay is too stupid to spend a couple of quid (out of the hundreds they get that you pay them) on gates and providing you with a key, then stop paying to use that space. Simple answer.
If you can afford to own land in today's economy, you can afford to protect it. If you can't afford to protect it, consider selling up quick before you end up bankrupt. You buy fire alarms, burglar alarms, locks for your doors etc - if you're too thick to buy a gate for your car park that's your problem. If there is a parking problem where your business is and people continually use your spaces for the other business, consider moving somewhere where each business has adequate parking - in addition to a barrier system. A lack of parking spaces being made available is responsible for the majority of parking issues out there.

You are quite tiresome with your ignorance, no one is talking about parking.
People can park on your land if they want, you could attempt to sue for damages if you want.
The hell they can.You can't however cause an obstruction to them, and shortly you won't be able to immobilise or tow them either.
Isn't life just terrible for the private car park operator?
Rubbish. Like I said, point out which specific part of the law that says I can't.
Geez and you call me ignorant. I have asked you several times to provide the section of the law that prevents me from doing this, but you continued to fail to do so.Well done, now you are learning. One is a civil matter of trespass, the other is either obstruction or the soon to be criminal offences of clamping or towing from private land.
Nonsense, but then you knew that already, didn't you. It would be pretty worrying of you didn't.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

Because obviously you are an ignorant, lazy tight git who owns land and cannot be bothered to protect your assets, really it's not rocket science, you can use bollards, chains, gates, barriers, an employee to help with parking, but of course that is beyond your capabilities to use, really get this through your to your brain, clamping is being made illegal, and restricting people of their vehicle by blocking in is also illegal when it comes in, now you have about 9 months to find a solution for you, plenty of time !Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors.
