190816 anpr

Car park operators NCP have confirmed that a 10 minute grace period is in operation at Ickenham station car park following the recent introduction of ANPR technology.

The grace period, which is not clearly advertised, allows motorists to drive in and out without the need to validate their stay on the new touchscreen payment machines.

NCP have agreed to check the signage to ensure that customers are aware that they can drop off and pick up for free.

One customer today was surprised at the 10 minute time period, saying that she had expected it to be 20 minutes, in line with other car parks.

Roof cleaners/Car gritters?

Without further comment, we repeat a warning received from an Association member:

Please be advised there are Irish fraudsters pretending to be roof

cleaning specialist. The use a high powered spray that removes the top

layer of the roof tile probably causing damage. They work off ladders

and cover neighbours cars in grit as neighbouring property and leave in a

disgraceful mess. They work for cash and drive a van with Irish plates.

They are con men and menacing please advise residents to say no.
