Hi.
I noticed your post about Waltham Forest and NCP's disgraceful towing.

I am currently researching for an official complaint to the LGO about this racket.

There are a number of aspects that i believe are wrong:

-NCP run all aspects, from ticketing to towing and appeals. Clearly a conflict of interests for a private company.
-NCP authorise far too many vehicles for removal, even for petty contraventions
-NCP do not always wait for 30 minutes after ticketing before authorising for removal. Government statutes require this.

As the MP of Waltham Forest is supposed to be a "lefty" and "idealist" i am also hoping to get him onside for the complaint.

I hope you are up for helping me with this. There is something very simple you could do if you are interested:

-Check your PCN for the time you were ticketed
-Check your removal reciept for the time of towing.
-If they waited less than 30 minutes before towing, i would love to know.

Either way, if you are interesred in adding any weight to this complaint, please let me know.
I am a regular member of pepipoo.com if you want to check that out too. I will be co-ordinating the complaint and campaign there.

Thanks
