Seems to me that your chances of getting your job back are poor and a claim for constructive dismissal will be hard to prove.
I would write to the Chief Executive, explain that your motivation is not malice or that you are seeking to be reinstated, but as a concerned ex employee.
From my experience letters to the Chief Executive command immediate attention.
I work in construction so I know how important the correct treatment for JP is.
Who knows - you could even suggest that your skills would make you an ideal candidate to undertake a survey of all their other car park to look for other incidents. (turn a negative into a positive)
Most companies would have an Environmental policy (e.g) NB - this is just an example - in no way am I implying this company is OP's ex employer.

If the OP's career was not intended to be in a car park related industry in the future, I would make as much noise as possible, including the press as a last resort ( but be prepared for the company to close ranks and cite poor perfomance).
Good luck0 -
I think the OP should be proud of himself for sticking up for what he knew believed in and knew was right. Gives you a little faith in the world.
As other have said, I'd definitely be off to the CAB and having a 30 minute free consultation with a local solicitor.
Good luck.0 -

I had to officially identify JK last year and once it was done, it had to be returned to the place it came from and no way would I have just chucked it in a skip. You are right to have done this OP and I hope that if you do appeal and take it to a tribunal for whistle-blowing, you succeed.Sanctimonious Veggie. GYO-er. Seed Saver. Get in.0

thanks for the link.
yes that link is great and interesting. Thank you.
OP, it might be an idea to send a copy of this, or something similar in a letter to your former employer to show how much you assisted them in avoiding breaking the law.0 -
Report the !!!!!!! for breaking the law0
