Does New Law (May 2012) Make Registered Keeper Liable to Parking Charges?

Putting up an exit barrier is the perfect way to control parking. Not popular with parking companies of course as it knocks the bottom out of their scam.

But for most car parks it would be the ideal way of ensuring people paid their dues/did not overstay.

Contrary to certain myths we do NOT advocate a state of parking anarchy.

We are merely against those who see it as a way to rip off the motorist.

We'd love a barrier, but not allowed.

So theres a barrier to it ?

What goes around comes around, ironic really.

Why is that? However in most cases barriers could be erected. A certain capital cost, of course, but set that against the trade the car park parasites cost businesses with their antics....

No barrier, there's a covenant from the previous land owners to allow them access to premises beyond. The car park parasites certainly cost businesses parking all day. (If we could uplift them and crush them, that would be good.......)

Are we talking about different parasites? On here the term is applied to PPCs.

With regards to a driver being nominated I will be then happy to be nominated at chosen address, I could then get letters everyday.....

I think we are, re-reading it. I still want to uplift and crush the anti social elements that park all day though.

I'll come back in again. Mainly as I think, sometimes, parking enforcement is needed, which is why the law was changed. Maybe not in the right way, but what other ideas would you have, apart from barrier control? We've a local Lidl. I shop there, but quite often fail to find any space at all, and leave. The reason I can't park, is because it's one of the few carparks in the town, that isn't council owned, and pay and display. So it gets parked up in the morning, with a mixture mainly of workers in the town, and shoppers at other stores who walk a couple of minutes to the high street throughout the day. Lidl can't do anything about it, as they get told the tickets aren't enforceable, we can stay all day, and it's not an option to clamp, because of a covenant in the ground they built on. (No barrier allowed either.) There's no point Lidl shoppers parking elsewhere, as then you have to carry the shopping back. It's the same cars, day in day out mainly, who "know their rights", so any suggestions on how we can get in to park to shop?

Suddenly you know all this about a local Lidl, yet you started off on this parking forum seeming to take a position of Devil's Advocate and knowing nothing?

Suddenly you say you know about a place where there is parking abuse, but no barrier is possible. You know the details of a land covenant, you know about the comings and goings of various people all day long in a car park. You even used the term 'parking parasites' which in fact on this forum describes the protection racketeers, the PPCs, not motorists. I think you know more than you have previously said.

Are you making it up as you go along for the fun of a debate, or do you actually have some 'parking firm expertise' then? :cool:

No, I keep telling you, I've been sucked in by the surreal world on here. It's quite interesting, how you advocate parking anywhere, and insisting anarchy is fine, but completely losing it when you find not everyone agrees with you in the real world. You appear to have a very bigotted, one sided view, I, personally, prefer some semblance of rule, you appear not to, and now appear to accuse me of working for a parking company? I won't deny I came into a thread where, rightly or wrongly, I saw abuse of a disabled bay. Now I'm posting on a thread were I support some control and have been annoyed over a specific shop car park. In another thread I've been accused of having a chip on my shoulder. Maybe this car park is the cause of it? Again, your pedigree suggests you need to be controlled, and laws do need to be made for to control your behaviour. The exact case in point you fully endorse. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2577323 You keep pushing it, me, I still want them uplifted and crushed when it affects me. ( I never said I know nothing, you said that when I didn't toe the line, I know, but simply think your view is naive and simplistic)
