Can ask I go to melmerby estate rippon.
And have noticed all over the estate is signs private property no overnight parking.
Yet the estate is fully open ie no security barriers etc. Anyone can drive in and out…no yellow lines.
So 1st how is this private property? And.is it enforceable?
the clay flatts estate at Workington is a industrial/retail area and has free access . however the land used to be the steel works and was bought by a “group”( i remember the names Geoffrey archer and dennis thatcher being mentioned at the time ). so that land is privately owned and leased out. so probably a similar situation
I think if it is actually private, then strictly speaking the owner of the land firstly doesn’t need barriers up and yes can enforce it if they wanted to be bothered.
Think supermarket car park. No barriers, free to drive in and out but time restrictions can still be in place from the private owner. Same kind of thing really. The fact they’ve put the signs up means they’ve done enough to take it further IF THEY CAN BE BOTHERED. It maybe just be a warning with no substance behind it.
