WHEEL CLAMPING:
Wheel clamping and vehicle removal has proved to be the most effective deterrent and cost effective solution to eliminate unauthorised parking both on and off street. With more and more vehicles on the roads than ever before and a poor public transport system if you provide parking for staff, customers, visitors etc, it has become a burden beyond belief. We at UK Parking Management will relieve those pressures simply, professionally and cost effectively, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best- your business.
Wheel clamping is a sensitive issue and our aim is to always ensure that the motorist is clearly informed of the parking restrictions by using large clear prominently located warning signs displaying the restrictions.
We strive to ensure offenders are treated professionally and faorly (we have an Appeals procedure), to achieve this all our staff have completed a BETEC level 2 Award in vehicle Immobilisation & conflict management and are currently licensed with the SIA as required by law.
WHEEL CLAMPING 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 eaisly visible from wherever a car may be clamped and so 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 Serurity 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.
UK Parking management are one of the first companies to have its staff and directors successfully complete a 35hour training course and obtain SIA licenses as required by law.
WHEEL CLAMPING: HOW IT WORKS:
We arrange for one of our area managers to visit and survey your site, discuss requirements and identify your needs and decide upon the parking restrictions and number of warning signs required by law. Once we have received our signed contract, we then arrange for our maintenance division to errect large clear warning signs informing motorists of the restrictions in place, clearly stating in unambiguous terms the consequences of parking illegally. When needed we issue your authorised vehicles with parking permits, or we shall recognise your permits if you already have a permit scheme in operation.
Our uniformed parking officers then patrol your site randomly but regularly in our sign written vans, sholud they identify an illegally parked vehicle they will affix a home office approved wheel clamp and a sticker informing the motorists how to obtain release, (no reference is made to you the site owner).
Of course sholud you identify an illegally parked vehicle between our patrols, you can call our office where they shall locate the nearest mobile patrol and ask them to attend ASAP.
Once our office receives a request from an offender, who may pay using credit/debit card or cash, it is radioed to the nearest patrol so to insure our patrols attends quickly. Upon payment the offender is given a full VAT receipt together with a copy of the Appeals procedure. May we add that lone females, offenders with children and the elderly are given priority for release.
