PRIVATE LANDLORDS OFFERED HELP WITH PROTECTION OF FREEDOMS ACT
Ontime Automotive’s Parking Solutions Division is focusing on a range of tailor- made, cost-neutral or revenue generating services, designed to help private landlords cope with potential problems arising from the new Protection of Freedoms Act.
Covering standards of signage through to implementation of complete visitor parking schemes, parking services director Eddie Lewis says additional trained teams will be available as ‘boots on the ground’ for weekly or monthly patrols and reporting.
‘We understand that every site has its own characteristics, and each client has a different view on how they want the site enforced,’ he added. ‘Also residents’ requirements vary across facilities such as disabled parking and motorcycle bays.’ Ontime will offer a fully managed ticket process, including the ability to accept payments, issue notices for non-payment and engage bailiff services or prepare court cases. It will cover site evaluation and planning; permit design and management; signage consistent with the British Parking Association AOS code of practice; bay marking and numbering; patrolling and ticketing. Clients may also opt for a visitor parking scheme with optional methods including scratch card parking vouchers or dedicated permit schemes. Appeals made on enforcement will be arbitrated by POPLA (parking on private land appeals), the profession’s independent appeals service.

CREATIVE MANAGES FOUR- HOUR FREE PARKING
The challenge of monitoring four-hour free shopper parking at Leicester’s Thurmaston Shopping Centre has been solved by Creative Parking using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).
The lengthy free parking offers shoppers ample time to visit major retailers on the
site. To tackle vehicles exceeding the four- hour limit, or those parked at the centre other than for shopping, Creative installed a bespoke ANPR system. This identifi es vehicles entering and leaving the car park, ensuring offending motorists are pinpointed and allowing genuine shoppers to park with ease.
