They also have security cameras dotted around the carpark. I don't think they should be issuing fines or whatever you want to call them for the mindless, ignorant, inconsiderate morons who happily park in bays designated for blue badge holders when they are not badge holders. Removal of the offending vehicles to a compound several miles away would be far more effective.....hopefully it will be made possible at some stage in the not too distant future.
towing the vehicle without consent by a private firm is a big no no - if it happened to me I would have no hesitation at all to sue the company and the landowner/leaseholder who employed the PPC....its no point suing just the towing/clamping company as they norm have many CCJ's and then fold the company after a while, far better to also sue the landowner who commisioned the ppc.
but as we are talking about private land then the "blue badge" spaces are just a recommendation and do have any legal backing whatsoever. same applies for mother and child- there is no definition, i could turn up with my 70 year old mom and it would still be mother and child, but of course we all know what they mean.
As for "Blue Badge" holders that is a highly abused system and there are tens of thousands of people that have one that shouldnt... I remember recently there was a bloke who had a blue badge and was loading cement bags into the back of his builders van...mmm yes very disabled builder i thought, but of course there are the genuine cases but i suspect most people dont take too much notice of the blue parking as the system is so widely abused.
1 good point of having a blue badge in a PUBLIC area is that they are not allowed to clamp you - its just a fine
