Hi there,
I work at a large firm in the centre of Basingstoke which has a large car park for which I do not have a permit for.
So I park in another car park just down the road (it's part of some club) which doesn't have anything to do with the company that I work for. But my company have bought some permits so that it's employees can park there which is all well and good but I don't have a permit.
The car park is never ever full and there are at least 10 out of 20 spaces or so free every day! I am on the waiting list - have been for ages. Have been parking there for ages too, but today I get a little post-it note on my windscreen telling me that I will be clamped and that it will cost me £50 to be released.
There is no reason for me not to have a permit, in fact one of my colleages recently got one and she just lives down the road from where we were, where as I do not...
Now there are no noticed at all in this place stating that you will be clamped etc, nothing at all, and like I said, Im not causing any trouble there and there are always spaces so I don't want to hear any of you saying that I shouldn't be parking there. I know I shouldn't really but there is no where else to park at all, other than the pay and display - no thanks.
My question is, can they legally clamp me in that car park even though it's not their car park (the company), or are they just trying to scare me?
