MSE News: Wheel clamping ban moves closer
Comments

Well it would seem to make sense, many clamping companies intentionally block people in in order to clamp them If they just banned clamping then these rogues would get away with just blocking them in so you clearly have to specify this in the legislation.0

So not only do you want me to find you solutions to your problems, you want me to predict the future, how the hell do you expect me to tell you which part of legislation will do that when the legislation hasn't been made law ?
Because you keep telling me that what I want to do will be illegal. If you are that sure, you'd surely know why, wouldn't you. I mean, you have read the relevant laws haven't you? You wouldn't be advising me of the law, when you don't know anything about it. You wouldn't do that, would you?All I can is what the MP featherstone I think said , blocking vehicles in is part of the new legislation to come in, why don't you ask her, she will know more than myself!
Because you are the one who has said the he knows. I thought that you would be able to tell what part of the new law will prevent me from parking cars in my own car park. You have read the new law, haven't you? :huh: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 are being ridiculous , the legislation has not been made law as yet, so how can point out anything that as yet does not exist, the intention is there from the government to make this into law, they have indicated numerous times, so instead of wasting your time here asking people for proof, try researching and finding a solution yourself, now I have wasted enough of my time on you as you clearly are not taking it in, let me summarise for you:
1) clamping is being banned
2) towing is being banned
3) blocking people in is being banned
Now no matter how much you bleat, this will happen, now I suggest you try and find a solution, it is out there , if you remain static on this you will lose out, and a competitor who does actually think will use this to their advantage !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?0 -

So, in other words (I haven't a clue why you bothered with the rest of your post), you really have no idea what you are talking about. There are no existing laws preventing me from parking vehicles around another (those who have tried to tell me otherwise, take note). There are currently no plans to prevent me from doing this either, except the ones in your head of course. Surely you have looked at the white paper, the draft bill or perhaps the debating document for the House of Commons select committee.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 -

And I suppose you have, now please enlighten us with your research, because you must have! Now I have actually researched into this matter myself and have communicated directly with the home office, my local mp, I have replies from them in regards to this that I have actually posted on here.
They are pressing ahead with an outright ban on clamping, towing and blocking vehicles on private land, if you want to buryyour head in the sand you carry on! And by the way, where is your proof that this will not happen, seems reasonable considering you keep asking me for proof.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors.

I agree the taxi drivers were "heroes," weren't they.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 have researched it so thoroughly, you don't even seem to know what the draft bill contains, where it can be found and what sections will cover my plans. Hmmm....I don't think you have dome any study at all.
However, it took nine hours and eighty pounds to clear the "blockade" in Haedon's link. I don't think it will be as clear cut as you think.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
