City of Hamilton’s notice to parking violators

In light of recent events and the actions of persons, the Corporation of Hamilton wishes to state “Further to our previous statement, and in any event, as a land owner and owner of the private car parks  where clamping has been enforced, the Corporation is in no different a position than the ordinary landowner who may charge for parking on his land and indeed impose other rules for its use for parking, and may in addition, provided this is brought to the attention of the drivers by appropriate signage or other public notice, clamp and tow away cars parked in breach of his rules.”

“On this the Corporation is advised the law is clear. In addition we will not have our staff or equipment placed at risk, anyone damaging the clamps or threating staff will be the subject of vigorous legal proceedings for damages and other remedies.”
