 Over the last few months I have received a number of complaints from residents and even those from further afield on the issue of the company SANGO Security Ltd who are clamping cars on the Latham Court access Road on Brownlow Road beside Bounds Green Station, N22.
I have now written twice to the Securities Licensing Authority who have responsibility for licensing and enforcing the conditions of licensing for this sort of company – I have yet to hear back.
Whilst the activity of clamping on Private Property (and this little stretch, sadly, is private property) the companies do have to conform to certain standards; i.e. wearing badges, providing reciepts and other conditions. My understanding of the situation in this case (based on the accounts of victims of this action) is that the company is likely to be in breach of several of these conditions.
As I have yet to hear back from the SIA (!) even after all this time, and considering several more residents have written to me since my original hard copy letter, I have now e-mailed the SIA with more information and repeating my original complaint on your behalf.
I thought you would like to know this, but also, I would encourage you to fill out the brief online form on the SIA website to register your own experience - you can find this here: http://www.the-sia.org.uk/home/enforcement/reporting/vehicle_immobilising/reporting_form_vi.htm
You might also like to write to the Company responsible, they are registered as of last October with Companies House at the following address:
SANGO SECURITIES INDUSTRY LIMITED
JOSEPH ANDERSON BEADLE & CO
2ND FLOOR

Lastly, you may have seen the piece on the online edition of the Haringey Advertiser: http://www.muswellhilltimes.co.uk/display.var.2077992.0.hampered_by_clampers.php
I am currently trying to ensure that this gets as much coverage as possible in the local press.
