This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.
In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.
The current licensing system for individual vehicle immobilisers (clampers) has reduced crime and tightened standards in the industry. However, it has become clear that it does not address all the concerns people have about the conduct of car clamping businesses.
We are aware that some businesses indulge in unacceptable behaviour, including levying excessive fees, and using vague signs.
We intend to act to stop this.
This consultation takes a vital step towards ending those practices, and is asking for your views on a range of options to further tighten the rules.
