Wheel clamping on private land to be banned

August 17, 2010 2:08 PM

Featherstone• [Aug 17] Lynne Featherstone* writes: WHEEL clamping on private land (and towing away) is to be banned by the coalition government. We had a commitment to tackle rogue wheel clampers in the coalition agreement - and now we are able to take this forward.

It falls in my portfolio at the Home Office. Immobilisation has always had a track record of grief and misery.

There cannot be an MP in the land who has not had constituents come to them who have been clamped 'unfairly'. The complaints that have come in to the Home Office are tales of exorbitant fees, abusive behaviour, signage being invisible and so on . . legislation . . will be brought in as part of the Freedom Bill in November hopefully - and then come into force as soon after the passage of the Bill as possible.
