Legality

The law requires that large, clear warning signs be displayed throughout the parking area, informing motorists of the restrictions in place. There must be sufficient warning signs clearly displayed so that they are easily visible from where a vehicle may park and subsequently be issued with a Parking Charge Notice and, should a vehicle park in such an area, they are entering into a contract agreeing to the terms of parking as displayed on the warning signs.

By parking the driver automatically enters into a Contract with you for you to issue a Parking Charge Notice.

You must ensure that you display sufficient Warning Signs throughout the parking area so that the motorist can clearly see them from wherever they park their vehicle.

Our legal department will undertake, at no expense to you, the collection of the parking charge. Where we obtain the vehicle licensing details from the DVLA we will not disclose data to you.

Warning

The DVLA has recently brought in stronger regulation of how and to whom they will disclose the details of the registered keeper of a vehicle committing a parking offence. It is now required that any person or organisation that wishes to access this information must be Approved Operators of the British Parking Association (click here for details).

We at Parking Control Services are Approved Operators (click here for our certificate) it is worth noting that not all enforcement companies have achieved this status and therefore cannot enforce any tickets they issue, put simply the tickets they issue aren’t worth the paper they are written on.
