Can I get a ruling on if their new parking regime is legal and or voided previous parking laws?

given that this has been going on (clamping) for the last 7 years I don’t think its fair to blame “this COH” with the problem

Upon viewing yellow clamps on two vehicles next to us, I envisioned these obnoxious crab-claw devices would be better used to clamp the Great Mayor and his whole team to the trees they set out to destroy on Ewing St.. Copying the use of the stocks in St. George’s, the populace could be encouraged to throw accusations and rotten food at them. Preferably, to protect the citizens of Bermuda from further abuse, they should remain clamped until next May when their term expires.

Another observation: If a non-working resident is paying $50.00 plus a week for periodic stops in Hamilton to do shopping, dining, etc., don’t go. Put this saved cash in a jar. When you get enough, fly to New York and really enjoy yourself shopping and dining. The COH has deprived the use of Hamilton from us all. As for the back of town–fees for 5 minutes of parking to do an errand – criminal.

What extremes this sorry lot have devised to pay themselves to attend meetings, when the history of the Corporation dictates otherwise.

I wonder if the ruling applies to KEMH – they clamped as well.

However, from a legal standpoint it looks like the COH has been doing stuff that they cannot legally do. A nice little money grab. Now, yet again, this COH has been caught with its pants down. Hope folks saved all of their receipts for the fines that they paid. You just know that all of the COH clamping records have by now mysteriously dissappeared.

1. The Corporation has been doing this for 7 years without, it appears, any real objection from Government;
2. It is clear that these car parks are PRIVATE PROPERTY, and if you park on someone’s land, without permission, or without paying the right amount, why can’t you be clamped? Other businesses do it.
3. The Corporation were the ones to take this matter to Court to see (after 7 years) if it was okay for them to continue to clamp.
4. As it is private property, why can’t the Corporation simply close the car parks or rent them out to someone instead? In fact, that’s exactly what they should do.

The simple fact here is that if you go onto someone’s private property, without proper permission, you are a trespasser. So what is wrong with what the Corporation is doing?

One can only hope that Government and the COH will sort this mess out, quickly and satisfactory.

Failure to pay tickets will catch up with you.

If the COH had to pay everyone back then there would be cuts to budgets and a lot of innocent people who didn’t park illegally will suffer.

Is this something that we really want to see happening?

When a case goes to court and the person gets off because the prosecution did something slightly wrong then we all complain that it is a miscarriage of justice…but when the situation is reversed then we all want our money back.

Effing auto correct

Let some bright person decide they will sell marijuana out of a legal establishment,while they are waiting with anticipation that it will become law some day soon, will not be any more justify then this foolishness.
