Legality

The law requires that large, clear warning signs are placed throughout the parking area, informing motorists of the parking restrictions in place so that they are easily visible from wherever a car may be clamped and, should they park in breach of the parking restrictions, they will be entering into a contract agreeing that we can clamp/remove their vehicle and charge them to release and/or return the vehicle.

By parking, the driver automatically enters into a contract with us to clamp or remove their vehicle.

WARNING:

As of the 3rd May 2005, you will be prosecuted for using the services of an unlicensed wheel clamping company. The government has brought about legislation that all wheel clamping companies must be licensed through the Security Industry Authority (www.the-sia.org.uk), by employing unlicensed wheel clamping operatives you will be committing a criminal offence.

You could be liable for a maximum fine of £5000 and up to 5 years' imprisonment.

Parking Control Services are one of the first Companies to have its entire staff and directors successfully complete a 35-hour training course and obtain SIA licenses as required by law.
