Cars parked on private land can no longer be clamped

[super jumbe]

New laws were put in place on Monday to stop cars from being clamped or towed on most private properties in England and Wales.

Parking tickets will still be issued and those who do not pay can be traced through the DVLA.

5 liveMorning Reports spoke to Tony Glackin, from Worcester, who had his car clamped while parked in his own space and to the British Parking Association's Kelvin Reynolds who said the new legislation did not go far enough.

OK, rumor has it, say you have a private industrail estate, and somebody who works at one of the companies, leaves their car untaxed, the DVLA can STILL clamp it, if not delcared sorn, and STILL remove it couple of days later.

Now if you have a barrier at the top of the estaste, then beleive it's tough mr dvla.
