Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Lagos State Parking Authority released statement on clamping of car tyres at private companies in Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere.
Taking to social media, Lagos State Parking Authority:
The attention of the Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has been drawn to a video in circulation showing vehicles clamped by the Monitoring and Enforcement Unit of the Agency with a voice in the background claiming that Lagos State is clamping cars despite being parked in front of the owners’ properties on Adeniran Ogunsanya Surulere.
The video is a clear misrepresentation of facts by a bystander with no knowledge of what transpired at the venue, and perhaps ignorant of the Parking policies of Lagos State, aimed at regulating parking and forestalling indiscriminate parking across the State. To set the records straight, the issues that led to the clamping of vehicles parked in front of some stores on Adeniran Ogunsanya including SLOT Ltd, FCMB and Burger King are detailed below:
The cars shown in the video belong to the occupiers of the properties who despite being served demand notices for Y2023 parking levies since June 2023 have refused to respond to the notices.
The Authority’s warning with the following inscription “Warning! (Demand Notice Non-Compliance) liable to be clamped or towed – No Parking – Vehicles parked at owner risk” was visibly pasted on the walls of the property in question. Defaulters vehicles are only clamped until the levies are paid or a letter of undertaking to commit to making the payment is issued by the defaulter to LASPA.
LASPA enjoins the public to desist from spreading misinformation about its activities which are in line with the parking policies of the state.
The Agency remains resolute in the quest to create a more sustainable and efficient parking environment and improve the parking culture among vehicle owners in Lagos State.
