This is operated at a shopping complex not far from me.
Wheel-clampers have been outlawed from clamping vehicles on private land under new legislation in England and Wales.
The Protection of Freedoms Act makes it an offence to clamp on private land.
The law does not affect Northern Ireland, and clamping and towing away on private land has been banned in Scotland since 1992
I did a quick Google but couldn't find the options paper referred to? Like all good Government doc's they maybe neglect to mention any target date for publication :roll: .8.9 The DOJ recognise that this is an important issue, especially since
Northern Ireland is now the only region of the United Kingdom where vehicle
immobilisation (or wheel clamping) is a legal activity. In acknowledgement of
this, the Department proposes to subject this issue to further consideration.
An options paper outlining the issue and proposals for the way forward is
being prepared. This paper will take into account the research carried out in
late 2011, the responses to the consultation document, the outcomes of the
focus group and discussions with the SIA and other key stakeholders. The
Justice Minister will have the opportunity to consider this paper as part of his
decision making process.
