    UKCPM 24/7 cheap as chips CCTV and sign (filming every person & vehicle across public highway as usual) from this current thread:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6622689/parking-charge-whilst-delivering/p1




    Covert surveillance like this is illegal.

    Ahem: MHCLG excessive 24/7 filming without permission (not being overt) is ILLEGAL.

    When will the MHCLG crack down on this new thing, which has sprung up like a rash in England this year.

    In my view, this plus other new remote (lazy & cheap) surveillance wheezes - like bay monitoring which forces disabled people to jump through hoops to 'register' or scan their Blue Badge not just display it - are the main causes of the eye-watering 24% hike in DVLA data rinsing by this rogue industry.

    NINETEEN MILLION PCNs per annum now under this Government's watch.

    Sorry to say it but the 'options' from the MHCLG are weak, hopeless, pander to sharks and will allow them to choke the final breaths from high streets. Wakey wakey MHCLG...you are sleepwalking into finally killing off high street business, retail and local town economy.

    P.S.
    Of course, as ever (99.7% of the time) the sign is silent on quantifying the DRA fee. Course it is. That's an offence too but sadly, it looks like this government has missed that, in their haste to try to rush through a rotten Code.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    From this thread where one car park is sneakily split into two (wonder if the 2 PPCs are in cahoots, or connected?):

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6621963/over-looked-signage#latest

    Two huge signs but an entrapment zone:


    Look at the size of supposed t&cs font in the ridiculously wordy yellow sign!

    Neither has the BPA roundel but these are also great examples to show the MHCLG that actual signage size doesn't matter if the font is <20 point!

    Neither has anything about DRA fees of course because (to steal a statistic from the BPA) "99.7% of them don't".

    The tariff prices are so prominent in the yellow sign, and the small print so small, I don't see how they can claim for anything other than £1.50 per hour because I certainly can't see any other agreement on there.

    MET sign at McDonalds, from this current thread:

    As ever - seen 99.7% of the time! - nothing at all about any added DRA/admin costs. Or if it's there, it's illegible & will never quantify the £sum.

    APCOA sign from this thread re a Southern Railway car park:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6612576/apcoa-pn-issued-at-southeastern-rail-car-park-blue-badge-not-registered-at-blue-badge-portal/p1


    All important terms are in minuscule font: illegible. Zoomed in below, shows the unexpected term that is now being imposed with no lawful justification on disabled users: suddenly it's not enough to just display a Blue badge. How would anyone know?



    Nothing about added debt fees (course not).
