Dublin clamping rates up as worst spot for illegal parking revealed

Clarendon Street has again emerged as Dublin city’s worst blackspot for the clamping of illegally-parked vehicles as overall clamping rates in the capital rose by 10 per cent last year to over 40,000 vehicles.

It is the third year in a row that Clarendon Street – which runs parallel to Grafton Street at the back of the Westbury Hotel – has topped the list of locations in Dublin where motorists are likely to have their cars immobilised.

Figures provided by Dublin City Council show that the overall number of vehicles clamped within the local authority’s administrative area last year was up 10 per cent to 40,732 – an annual increase of almost 3,600 vehicles.
