    ANPR Ltd is not the same company as ANPR PC Ltd (who have just been suspended from DVLA data access). ANPR Ltd is one of the Trevor Whitehouse stable of companies. Its not like "Our Trev" to get himself involved in anything vaguely controversial is it? After all, he can continue to sit on his sun terrace in Marbella or the BVI without having to worry about the onset of the British winter.

    Parking Charge Notices are simply speculative invoices and can only be enforced at court. They are not fines - no private company has the power to fine anyone - and nor has a landowner. We known that none of "Our Trev's" companies went anywhere near court last year and there's no reason to think they will start now. Using some of the PePiPoo warning flyers may well be a very good idea in order to wake up your customers to the reality of these tickets. Whether Trev has DVLA data access does not in any way change the legal standing of these tickets.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    You should encourage your customers not to park on the access road but to use your car park at the back instead. Parking on the access road will block in your customers not anti social enough to park selfishly.

    if any of your customers get a speculative invoice you can give them one of these leaflets:

  • I am assuming your property is in England and Wales.

    Would your property make a useful addition to your neighbour's development plans - if so some times jaw jaw gives a more profitable outcome than war war,

    15 years free use "with horses and carts" (as well as cars) has probably established a right of access for the public to your property over your neighbour's private land, if your "deeds" don't already specifically spell out their rights. Beware of the "I have put a gate across the road, here is your copy of the key" response.

    A right of way does NOT include any right to park - you won't be amazed at how territorial people are becoming about car parking in "their" road.

    How come everyone knows they can call in on your shop "round the back"?
