Private parking - advice please.
Discussion
Might be missing something obvious but what about installing those bollards that are locked in place?
A local bathroom shop did this after everyone and sundry used their parking spaces as all day free parking. Now they come in, put them down when they open and put them back up when they close.
I think the easiest solution is going to be one that inconveniences him enough that he could end up missing his train.

Get the signage right and the freeloaders will struggle to avoid payment.
Ultimately, yes, I have to agree that is correct, but after potentially a long battle, I want to inconvenience them at the point as close as possible to the point they inconvenience me, which is why.... (see belowZeeky said:
Getting back to the OP's question it may still be possible to detain a vehicle until payment is made. If you read paragraph 3 quoted above a barrier that is in place when a driver enters the land is not caught by the prohibition on imobilising.
This is why I have barrier in place, plus very clear signage.Durzel said:

That looks like a fairly cheap (in comparison) and easy solution to the problem.A local bathroom shop did this after everyone and sundry used their parking spaces as all day free parking. Now they come in, put them down when they open and put them back up when they close.

Could trespass laws be used in this case?
Of course, but we are talking about practical remedies. The fact of trespass is obvious. The question is, how to stop it? Breadvan72 said:
No it does not. Where do people acquire such notions?
Tresspass is a civil, not a criminal matter. That means the police aren't interested. Going down the tresspass route would mean sueing the guy for losses / damages. Streaky

Is there an entrance to the car park ?
Could the last person to leave just string a metal chain from one side to the other and the first person that arrives in the morning does the same ?
One chain + one padlock. Its not an expensive option.
Seems like the most sensible option so far. Could the last person to leave just string a metal chain from one side to the other and the first person that arrives in the morning does the same ?
