Cambridge Station Square Greater Anglia NCP ANPR Rail

Efficient

Using the information on this site I appealed to POPLA against NCP who have recently installed ANPR cameras at Cambridge Station. Accuracy of ANPR times, grace period, signage and keeper liability were the main points raised. Result: withdrawn by the operator.
Hope this helps others. The new road layout is a bad joke.
Thanks all.

Very efficient @ Efficient - well done. And particularly well done in proving that all this can be done through to success by just using the written resources of the forum.

Great stuff.

Well done, now complain to your MP as obviously the the ticket was improperly issued and they have wasted your time.

The whole industry is a scam, relying on threats of court, and the public's ignorance of the Law, A bill is currently before parliament which will regulate the scammers, many of whom are ex-clampers.

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Second Reading in the Lords this month, and, with a fair wind, will l become Law later this year..

All five readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 7-8 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.
