Long overdue, but inevitable. Now, what's next, I wonder?

Suppose they will issue unenforceable tickets now, and have armed thugs at the exit points demanding cash before you can exit the property

I fear clamping companies will fill their boots for the next five months. Anyone will be fair game.

We may be busy.

they will be ordering the locking barriers by the dozen

Vax i do not believe locking barriers will be legal now either to immobilise a vehicle.

I think he means "pay on exit " barriers

Denver boots.

I fear that you may be right.

I guess this ban will mean a lot of people going back to their former occupations of mugging and armed robbery.

I volunteer with a comunity group, and sometimes we have had someone park their vehicle on our car park without asking, the problem being is that we need to close and lock the gate to the car park when we go.
So far we have been doing this, with or without this vehicle on the premises and leaving a ticket/note on the car parkind without permision, on this ticket is some basic information together with "we have to lock the gate after using the premises, if you want to release your car please phone X or Y or Z on these numbers, and they will open up to let you out"

hopefuly this aproach will not be outlawed, as its unreasonable to ask a volunteer to stop behind and babysit a car for however long its left there for.

Someone at a comitee meeting sugested getting in touch with a parking company who will provide us with tickets ( he had a print out from some website) so "we can fine drivers who park witout permision" and "keep some of the takings", needles to say i was not in favour of this aproach and so far it hasnt come up again.
