  • Car Parks... 24 Jul 2012 (Forum)
     This tends to be wealthier folks in general we have noticed, or seemingly wealthy since it's allways the Mercedes benz or BMW driver we end up telling off.   We know that we can't clamp people as the law is about to change.  What can we do?  We simply want an effective way that will stop drivers parking where they are not supposed to which will in turn stop myself and the other staff being harrased by other irate visitors   any suggestions most welcome!
