• Digbeth car clamper has to pay £7,000 – The Birmingham Mail reports a landmark Birmingham City Council prosecution against Gary Southall of Moseley Street, Digbeth, after Birmingham Trading Standards received 190 complaints about his companies, Nationwide Parking Control and National Parking Control. ‘Southall fell foul of the law by towing away vehicles parked by unsuspecting motorists in locations across Digbeth and Bordesley Green, and failing to provide his name as business owner for drivers to appeal.’ Bad, bad boy.
