Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Parking in and around Shipley train station has always been at an issue, particularly with a lack of available residential streets near by. Many people used to park at Aldi/McD's across the road but they started ticketing people so that's had to stop, though of course the PCNs issued there aren't enforcable as we all know.
There are however a couple of small streets nearby which people park on. The nearest one people have been parking on all the way down for some time now and it's getting so congested that people have started parking up on the grass verge too. I noticed yesterday that a load of notices had appeared stuck onto signs in the grass saying "no parking" and "clamping in operation" and that all the cars parked there had been given a pcn.
Now surely you can't just go around sticking notices like that up and ticketing people and threatening to clamp them, particularly when the notices weren't there in the morning when they parked? Can you?! As far as I know, it's a public street. There's no street name on it but there is a lamp post.
I just hope that no-one who's had a ticket has been daft enough to pay it and someone from that area sees this post.
What kind of 'pcn' were the cars on the grass given?
You can put a message on a car saying 'clamping in operation', but it doesn't mean anything because you have to have been able to read it before you parked up.
Not sure to be honest as my car wasn't one of them and I obviously didn't want to take them off someone else's car! They just looked like one of those standard yellow things in a sticky envelope on the windscreen.
Surely they can't clamp cars for being parked on a grass verge on the public highway can they?! The notices certainly haven't been put there by the council or anything, they look pretty amateurish.
No they can't. Try and find out the company and send an email to the council. They will be very interested in a private company 'fining' people on their land.
The main station car park is run under the railway bye law.
The approach roads to the station have single/double yellow lines.
Could you please show a google picture of the station area, and name if possible the locations where clamping is alledged to take place.
I have visited this location every Thursday for the last 20 years both at 0500hrs in the morning and 1500hrs in the afternoon, to carry out my job.
I am aware of the location of the said junk food outlets.
Hopefully this link will work. The road in question:
Find Crag Road on the map (light yellow just to right of the station):
There's an unmarked white road immediately to the left of that with A657 at the top, then the river to the left of that. The road in question is a short dead one just to the left of the river, again a white unmarked one. It's just to the right of the railway tracks.
It's a dead end with a garage and possibly a greasy spoon type place at the bottom.
I'll take a pic tonight and post it tomorrow. I'll try and figure out who's put them up too. Thanks
I think that you turn left at the bottom of the hill with the railway bridge in front of you.
This location is a rough road leading to a place which makes/sells beds.
From my recolection, this road is an unmade road.
I cannot say if it is a private road, or an occupation road leading down to the bedmakers.
In the past I have seen all sorts of vehicles parked down this road, and even cars for sale where in leaves the main road.
See if you can find out if it is an adopted road, or just a lane leading down to the old mill complex.
It would belong to Bradford MDC if it is a public highway.
Yes, as you're coming down the hill towards the station, it's left just before the railway bridge. I think they used to sell beds down there but now they sell / service cars and have a cafe I think. There is no road name anywhere, though there are street lamps. There are no road markings at all in fact, certainly nothing to say it's a private road. Indeed there used to be cars for sale parked up on the grass verge which they now say you can't park on. I'm assuming it's the guys who own the garage at the bottom who've done this. I took a couple of pics on my phone this morning but don't appear to have the right cable with me to upload them onto my PC...
