Data release helping local businesses

Unauthorised parking is a nuisance that may also result in loss of income for local businesses. Those businesses often feel that clamping doesn’t really resolve the issue. Instead they consider that well managed car parking companies accessing data from the DVLA vehicle register when appropriate offer a far more effective and customer friendly solution.

In all matters regarding data release we act responsibly and in accordance with legislation.

An alternative to clamping
Many shops, big and small, lose out on passing trade when motorists who aren’t customers occupy free parking spaces just to avoid paying for parking elsewhere. Similarly, businesses such as hotels, pubs and doctors’ surgeries are affected and their customers inconvenienced by non-customer parking. The situation is made worse if the premises happen to be near a beach, cinema, tourist attraction or sporting venue.

Not surprisingly, more and more land and business owners are nowadays turning to private car parking companies for help. Even the very big supermarkets and warehouse outlets are using car parking enforcement companies to ensure that the limited number of car parking spaces they maintain for their customers are available for their customers and that spaces reserved for the disabled and parents with children are used appropriately.

Many of the businesses affected don’t consider clamping to be a solution because it doesn’t help move unauthorised vehicles quickly and causes massive inconvenience for the motorists involved.

In many cases, rather than clamping, imposing restrictions and enforcing them with the help of a specialist professional company is the only way some businesses can prevent unauthorised parking and the associated trading losses. Properly controlled data release from the DVLA vehicle register enables those companies to enforce legitimate parking restrictions.
