Hmmm, why does this forum software think that free loaders needs censoring with question marks?

Unfortunately, my solution will have to be boxing them in by parking the vans around their car.gadgetmind wrote: »You'd be surprised at how much these things do cost, and how awkward it makes things for visitors and delivery drivers.
We don't get anything from the clamping company and to date they haven't had anything yet as the signs are working and no-one has been clamped. Once the law changes, the !!!!!!!!!!s will know they can park with impunity, and they'll be back in their droves.
Clamping is a cheap, effective and unobtrusive solution to preventing inconsiderate motorists from blocking private land with their vehicles. Yes, there are other solutions, and we will be forced to implement one or more of them despite the many drawbacks.

You have a low opinion of your fellow citizens.
Me? Nothing come be further from the truth; it's just a tiny minority who seem to want something for nothing no matter how much it inconveniences others.

Because they cost upwards of fifty thousand pounds to install. Notwithstanding not being able to get permission to install them.
Oh please, £50k! A quick search shows access control booms available for around £600 and code/card readers for £200.

Get a grip, its going to be simple from next year. Comply with the law or don't. Your choice.
Most large car parks do have a profit share arrangement, if you don't, that says more about you.Profit, from clamping? It's not the landowners/occupiers who make the profit, but they are the ones who are expected to carry the costs.====0 -

I hope your vans fare better than our poor car park barrier did!

What's silly about that? All I am stating is that when the ban comes into force private clamping will be illegal. On the other hand the councils will still have the power to clamp.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

And then you need to run power out to it, and connect it to the supply in the building, and service it.

Yes, in my case, it says we don't have a large car park. Anyway, time for a missive to my MP to point out the many negatives on a ban on clamping.
