AN employee of a notorious car clamping company which has brought misery to visitors to a Yorkshire tourist village is facing an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
Hundreds of motorists have complained over many years about the tactics used by Carstoppers at two car parks in Haworth, which attracts tourists from across the globe.
The company once won the Dick Turpin award, for being the modern day equivalent of a highway robber, after being named the nation's worst clampers.
Local traders have long claimed that over-zealous clamping was affecting the village's tourist trade.
Now, following hundreds of complaints to police and Bradfords Council, a Carstoppers employee looks set set to be given an ASBO.
George Albert McDicken, 38, of Ling Park Approach in Wilsden, near Bradford, is accused of "intimidating and aggressive behaviour" by the authorities seeking the ASBO.
The application for an ASBO is due to be heard at an interim hearing at Leeds magistrates' court on Friday.
