Just asking to see if it still happening an if it's happened to anyone else yet

Just before Christmas I had four subbies clamped at the shoe heathrow the drivers parked went into office got there number an when they returned to motors they were clamped as they did not have any sign writing an a parking permit 

According to the clamper if you are in an unwritten motor you need a permit displayed in window 1 driver payed the release fee straight away the others argued it in the end the manager of a company there came out an said he's piece an the other drivers got it removed free of charge 

Has this happend to anyone and does anyone no if it still going on

Do magnetic signs count as signwriting?

I'm a bit bothered about this. ive been to the shoe loads of times and my van isnt signwritten. Ive never seen any warning signs that unmarked vans need a parking permit. nor anything saying they will be clamped. Surely if there aren't any warning signs then they can't clamp you??

Thanks for the info Tigz.


Can't see anything specifically about clamping at the horseshoe, but it does sound like authorities in the area got pretty big on getting people for wrongly parking from about July last year.

My guys got done the first day it started in December they had put signs up in morning an my fellas were done around lunch time an another company I no was done

In January I've tried looking on net but nothing comes up but like I said
They people (team) that were doing the clamping had said
From now on Evan in the waiting area u had to have a permit if not sign written due to an up In security measures because horse shoe
Wog block etc were the biggest weak spots of heathrow
