    He possibly meant the voltage across two phases of a 3-phase supply, which is 415V (240 * SQRT(3)).

    are they obliged (or even allowed) to take someone that has been removed due to failing to meet DVLA standards?

    According to DVLA, when a company moves from one ATA to the other their sanction points must go with them.

    That's the policy this week anyway. Now it's a live issue what's the betting the DVLA comes up with some new weasel words as to why they are allowed to join the IPC after all?

    I sense that "trev" will re appear , with a new name and manager very shortly , he has a lot of sites to manage , and the loss would be great to him.

    Trev is actually a very wealthy individual, with a Spanish villa and substantial yacht. I'm thinking he may just knock it on the head and pass on his sites to another outfit.

    He doesn't need the money, and the industry doesn't need his antics, however the company is phoenixed.

    Totally agree. We are doing a disservice with our usual characterisation of Trevor Whitehouse & his gang as a laughable bunch of bumbling incompetents. They have been defrauding the unwary for years with their lies, bullying & threats. There is nothing laughable about their antics. They are just as deeply corrupt & unpleasant as all the other members of the private parking "industry" who operate the same business model. They may be a laughing stock on MSE & PePiPoo but their predatory behaviour has been fleecing the public & causing widespread distress for years plus making 'Our Trev' very wealthy over the years.

    I think we should all go down to our local ANPR site and park straddling lines and in unmarked bays. Then we could leave the sites to do shopping elsewhere... :D

    It may be a funny joke to those who know what this is all about, but to those who have been ripped off and paid him its not at all funny.
    The only person laughing is dear old trev, all the way to the bank and if enough people pay up on the receipt of a window ticket then im sure Trev will still be smiling.

    I have just been reading Not Very Clever Trevs latest news on his pantomime website.
    What a complete idiot, I have never seen a company of any reasonable standing air their dirty washing in public like this, it's hilarious!

    Wooah, maybe Trev has unwittingly stumbled upon an algorithm to avoid having to pay for a costly 415 volt installation when you could do it with a couple of standard mains leads.
    ANPR cameras could be super efficient if you could feed them on 415 or even 480volts instead of the paltry 230/240 volts stepped down to a puny low voltage
