West Sussex County Council: Wheel clamps and removals

Can you recommend a clamping company that we should use to control parking on our property?

We cannot recommend clamping companies. Refer to the Yellow Pages and speak with your local trading standards or the new Security Industry Authority which licenses clampers.

I have had a vehicle clamped or removed whilst on private property or in a car park. How do I know it is legitimate and what do I do if I have a problem with it?

We do not clamp or remove vehicles, but recommend the following. Legal disputes concerning private clamping operations should be consulted with a solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), CAB Advice Guide, Consumer Direct or the new Security Industry Authority who licence clampers.

I have had a vehicle removed by the Police whilst parked on the public highway.
