Government Ignores Flat Owners' Concerns Over Car Clamping Ban

Federation Chairman Bob Smytherman said: 'Lynne Featherstone's understanding of car clamping is depressingly naive. She naively thinks 'landowners' can just erect barriers, having no understanding that 'landowners' also includes leaseholders - in blocks of flats who could be forced to pay for the installation and management of barriers, and most likely the lease will not allow it. This will bring misery to a lot of people'

The FPRA argues that the real problem is rogue car clampers, and the solution is to regulate the system, not ban the practice.
