Parking restrictions

And which PPC would allow you this 'light touch'. Once their feet are under the table they will tighten their hold and you will be expected to do as they say.

Many retail car parks started off as 3-hour stays, but are now down to 1-hour. Why? Because PPCs couldn't earn enough from 3-hours. But no doubt they would have persuaded the retailer that squeezing the time allowance would increase footfall and profit. They have the sales line.

But the reality - more people are avoiding car parks with PPCs at large, either going to non-infested facilities, or finding online shopping a better and much safer option. Or they are reading signs, spending little time in stores, making sure they don't get caught out by the PPC.

All of which is actually bad news for the retailer. Not such good news for the PPC either, as compliance by the motorist means no chance of issuing a PCN. But I suspect PPCs have a much shorter longevity plan than do the retailers.

Fine,

We aren't talking about retailers here - we are discussing a smallish estate where the residents own the freehold. And it was on us to take photos of offending vehicles. And, as said before, we would have only done so in extremis

Again, I'd be interested in your practical suggestions for dealing with a problem parker like the one on our estate.

Over on your other thread - no more from me on this one.

... you sound very clued up for a MA!

CM, I get the impression that Neil is not a professional MA, but an office holder in a company set up by the owners of properties in a complex in which he lives,

I am in a similar position in two of my flats where I own a fraction of the freeholds. We can hire and fire firms to manage our properties as we wish, but not all properties are as fortunate.

A few years back, one of the other directors proposed appointing a PPC as a lot of our tenants were misbehaving, (HB riff raff), but I managed too persuade the shareholders to vote in down.

I believe that if a landlord or his tenant is becoming a nuisance, if the landlord has a mortgage, the MA is able to put some pressure on the lender, but have never come across such a situation myself.

At the risk of repeating myself we did write to the landlord, with no effect.

As I am sure you will know, actually going for breach of lease is timeconsuming and costly so we were looking at other options.
