Clamping misery
We receive lots of phone calls and emails from readers with potential stories but one that has really caught my eye has just arrived.
A woman tells of her clamping misery and subsequent anger with a local restaurant (which for the time being will remain nameless) and the clamping company.
On the face of it she seems to have been dealt a harsh deal and it has cost her a vast amount of money, which she can probably ill afford, to get her car back.
There are occasions when motorists possibly fully deserve to get clamped but these seem to be far outweighed by horror stories of 'unscrupulous' clamping companies demanding excessive amounts of money for the return of the vehicle.
If you have a clamping horror story you want to share then contact me and in the meantime we will be looking in to the woman's plight with a view to running a story in the Gazette.
