Automatic Enrolment

What is it?

The government’s widely publicised automatic enrolment pension scheme began on the 1st of October 2012. The scheme was introduced with the intention of making it easier for people to save towards their retirement. Eventually all employers will need to enroll their staff in a qualifying scheme should they not already be in one.

Parking on private land

Wheel clamping on private land is now a criminal offence as of 1 October 2012.

Whilst there are some limited exceptions under local by-laws, it is really only the DVLA and Police that are allowed to clamp from that date.

The new law comes in response to numerous complaints about instances of gross overcharging for parking on private land.
