What sort of a company are Civil Enforcement Ltd?

If they take an image of a car entering the Leeds Road Retail Park they must have one of when it exits.

So whose job is it to study the images taken?

It would appear that strict attention is not paid to the images taken by the person who scans them or he/she would see the car enter and exit the park.

Of course, there is the other option. It is easier to submit a parking fine than study all the camera footage.

Then there is a further option. Send out a load of fines and hope that all the fines are paid, meaning more profit for the company.

How do the stores located on the retail park view their actions?

If this carries on people will not be going to the stores and they will lose sales and have reduced profits so should they be taking this problem up with the parking company?

As far as Mark’s fine goes I am sure some of his neighbours will have seen his car at his house and can vouch for him that it was there overnight.

This problem is going on in lots of towns in the UK and it is about time that the government sorted it out. A BUSINESSMAN is furious after being fined £100 for supposedly parking in a Huddersfield car park overnight when he was tucked up in bed. And financial advisor Mark Learmont also wants to know why the DVLA is giving parking companies information such as people’s names and addresses. The 60-year-old popped into B&Q on the Leeds Road Retail Park on his way home from work in Brighouse on the afternoon of Monday, July 9. He then drove home to Lindley. The next morning on his way to work he stopped off at the retail park to buy a cup of coffee from Starbucks. He later received a car parking fine from Liverpool-based car park operators Civil Enforcement Ltd claiming he had arrived there at 4.37pm on July 9 and left at 10.32 on Tuesday, July 10. He said: “I only live at Lindley so why on earth would I leave my car down at Leeds Road overnight? It’s just potty. People are being hammered by this and there is clearly something wrong with their CCTV system that is clocking people in but not out again. It’s just not right and I’ll be fighting this all the way. It’s also put me off going back there.” This is the latest in a spate of complaints from people who say they have been landed with fines even though they insist they have not committed any parking offences. Linda Johnson from Mirfield was hit with a £100 charge for exceeding the parking limit at the park even though she hadn’t In its leaflet about release of information it states that a fee is charged to cover the cost of processing requests. A DVLA spokesman said: “Legislation allows vehicle keeper details to be disclosed to third parties who can demonstrate that THE Brexit referendum uncorked the bottle and the Truth Genie escaped.

As a result it is now absolutely beyond doubt that our politicians do not work for us, have not worked for us for at least 40 years and still have no intention of working for us and that the Tories, Labour, Lib-Dems are all the same but wear different clothes.

The veils of deception have collapsed under the sheer weight of contradiction that we are being asked to believe.

Mrs May can now be seen as the capitulator that she is, rather than our well armed negotiator in chief, since she threw all her weapons away.

Democracy itself is shown to be a falsehood, with consequences that we cannot foretell.
