Bike parking at work is worse than useless...

I did mention trespass as a caveat.
If you are working for the company you cannot be accused of trespassing on company property.
It seems our experiences are completely different.
In the case you mention of suing for costs/damages for removing who do you sue, assuming you do not know who the driver is and the registered keeper has no obligation to tell you who actually parked it illegally?
Also are you removing an abandoned car, an obstruction or was the vehicle temporarily parked in a parking space?

Maybe I just had better lawyers with it being EC3 and all that. (Though the actual problem was in our back office in Brighton)

The only exception is when the Police use anti-terrorism laws.

This was used by Exeter railway station to remove bikes "for security reasons" as they could be bombs

Yet they let cars park right up to the walls - never heard of a car bomb?

The piece de resistance was that they then took the bikes (remember they could be bombs and that is why they were removed) into the ticket office where they could do most damage!

Nice idea! The building is in the centre of Manchester with underground parking on two levels, reserved for senior managers with flash company Jags/Mercs et al. You get the idea...

Update: Even though the company is awash with money, it seems that the building, originally built and owned by the company MAY have been sold and is now rented back. Will have to make further enquiries. In any case, I'll see if I can drum up some interest in a BUG and take it from there. I just hope I'm not underwhelmed by a plague of apathy...

Which building are you in? I commute into the centre and use an underground car park and the cycle locks are poor.

Don't surprise me. Do you work for a large insurance company?

No, but not hard to guess where you are

Given your employers are fairly paternalistic (at least that's the external impression) then you should get a good outcome.
