Car Clampers near Tesco Acton Vale

I own  a business selling decorating products on Cowley Road called Acton Vale Paint. This is the road adjacent to the Tesco on Acton Vale. Two of my business neighbours are using a clamping firm at £140 a go against people who park on their forecourt.They usually only show up on sundays. I have seen them clamp more than 10 cars in a few hours on a sunday afternoon when all our units are closed for business and people probaly think it is okay to park.

Is there clear signage? If not the clampers may be working illegally

Thanks for advising about this. Although traffic can be manic when Tesco are busy (when are they not! must be a goldmine)it is not too different from when Somerfield were on the site and had a bigger car park. Petrol station and junctions with Third Ave and Cowley Rd mean a crossing on the Uxbridge Rd cannot be any closer hence many dangerous pedestrians (inc me) Silly to have the spaces immediatly outside Tesco as Car Club, these should be closer to Morris House and made disabled only IMHO. Tesco should have been good for your business?
