Posted By Roj Smith I can't see a problem so long as you are not causing damage to the vehicle when applying the notice. My car is always being slapped with "Make £2,000 a week - phone this number" type business cards and flyers. Start with a polite notice held between screen and the wipers. Keep a note of the vehicle registration and send them a stronger note if the nice one doesn't work. For persistent offenders, use a sticky label like a parking ticket, (i.e. one that sticks but can be removed) but keep it on the glass, not the paintwork. Providing a parking space for disabled staff/visitors, but making no attempt to enforce it is about as useful as not providing the parking space at all. Roj

Posted By Laurie Firstly, do not apply to windscreen - if driver decides to drive away with it in place you are liable - police advice. Any sticky label should be placed on the driver's side window, lower LH corner i.e. just above the handle - once again, police advice. The stickier the better. If you are in England (and Wales)you can clamp, of course. You can also clamp in Scotland, contrary to popular opinion. What is illegal up here is charging for the clamp to be removed - it is regarded as extortion. What you can do in Scotland is clamp and place a notice on the vehicle to the effect "Your vehicle has been clamped for security/safety reasons. Please contact the janitor (caretaker/reception/gatekeeper etc) who will remove it for you. There will be no charge for this service". By the time they have they have done this a few times, particularly if the janitor/gateperson is busy and hard to find, they will get the message! Once again on police advice, the relevant person must not deliberately make themselves hard to find, this is regarded as depriving the owner of the use of the vehicle. He/she must be going about their normal and routine business. Of course, that routine business may just be "making infrequent but random visits to check the - " liftroom/basement/plant room, stationery store etc! On a serious note, while it has not yet been tested in the courts, learned opinion suggests that under the DDA it is not only a requirement to provide facilities for the disabled, but also to take reasonable steps to ensure that such facilities are actually available for use. Just for the record, I am a Blue Badge holder, and like most of us, I come across this four or five times a day ("I'm not going to be long." "I'm just waiting for someone" "I'm just unloading" "There wasn't anywhere else to park") Laurie

Posted By Merv Newman Laurie, your the expert, and I agree and sympathise. It's just so much more satisfying doing it my way Merv

Posted By Lewis T Roberts Why don't you have your parking space moved to a more remote spot therefore making it less attractive to those selfish individuals. Lew

Posted By John Donaldson We also have this problem but have University Regulations covering Car Parking on Campus. If cars are not parked in accordance with the Regulations and that includes parking in disabled spaces we clamp them. We display prominent notices to this effect at the entrances to our Campus and also have an appeals procedure if people believe they have been unfairly treated. We apply it to all and on one occasion clamped the Chair of Council who I might add paid up with good grace.
