Wheel Clamp Ban - Are You Ready?

Autopa, a leading UK manufacturer of vehicle access and parking control systems, offers a viable and legal alternative to wheel clamping, which from 1 October will be banned on private property under the “Protection of Freedoms Act 2012”. Their comprehensive range of removable and retractable posts, bollards, barriers and gates complies with Section 54 of the Act which states that the use of fixed barriers would not be an offence as long as they are already in place, even if they are not in the up/closed position at the time of unauthorised entry. This means that with Autopa parking control systems you can effectively stop unwanted vehicles from entering and leaving your property. You can view Section 54 of the “Protection of Freedoms Act 2012” at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/section/54/enacted.
