Councils in England and Wales will be banned from using wheel-clamping as a money-raising measure, it has emerged. New Department of Transport guidance says councils should "not seek to make a surplus" from clamping parked cars.
The guidance, which is part of a parking regulations shake-up, puts a priority on winning public support.
It says the enforcement should be "proportional" to the contravention's seriousness. Wheel-clampers are being urged to target persistent offenders.
The guidance is issued to councils outside London, based on experience in the capital.
It also recommends a 15-minute "period of grace" for cars parked after a meter has run out.
