Unfortunately in a case like this it's one person's word against another and the Labour government regulations that licensed clamping were all in favour of the clamping gangs. Next year, those regulations will be replaced by several clauses in the Protection of Freedoms Bill, giving some of the same licensed parking enforcers even greater ‘Freedoms’ to exploit the Great British public. This bill passed its Report stage in the lower house without amendment in the second week of November. In the weeks before the Protection of Freedoms bill went to its report stage, several members of the BPA suddenly started behaving much better, but against that we have your previous example of behaviour by a member of the British Parking Association in which our MPs are placing so much trust. The BPA stated, “We will review the evidence uncovered by The Sunday Times and if these allegations are substantiated they would constitute a most serious breach of our code of practice.” You can find the BPA Code of Practice at: www.britishparking.co.uk/Approved-Operator-Scheme-...e . The BPA is now running a pilot appeals scheme here: www.parkingforum.co.uk/adjudication_pilot / It states, “This pilot is designed to test the principles behind formalising such a service and may form the basis of a statutory appeals service when the Government legislates to introduce one.” But the government did not legislate to introduce one. The appeals process remains in the hands of those who directly benefit from turning down any appeals. Amazing that a bad piece of legislation should have been replaced by one even worse.
