Clamps and removals

We do not undertake widespread clamping. We take a firm but fair approach and continue to take strong action against the minority of worst offenders.

We will only clamp vehicles under the following circumstances:

  • persistent evaders, who cost the taxpayer thousands of pounds, with three or more repeatedly unpaid and unchallenged parking tickets
  • Blue Badge fraudsters, who make the lives of disabled people a misery by stealing and using disabled badges fraudulently and illegally
  • people who park on housing estates without a valid permit, taking up residents' spaces. For example commuters who steal spaces to park for free
