So that's why the barrier was up last time I parked there on a 10 minute pick up. The first 30 minutes used to be free.

We got done too. No signage whatsoever to say now pay and display, other than the two at the entrance - only one of which is visible as you enter - which are the original ones from when it used to be pay and display (before the camera and pay on exit)

I only just about noticed because I saw the barrier had been removed- right snidey, as it wasn't obvious at all.
What kind of backwards, miserly and mean decision it is as well to remove a pay-on-exit system with a pre-pay one? Also although there ostensibly seemed to be the ability to pay on card, the machine was only accepting coins.
Like my arse.

Make sure you all appeal and fight it if rejected. Won 3 very hard fought tickets in the past, one instance was a week away from court when they didn't pay there court fee.
You should easily win based on the website alone.

Don't the council have to document when they change car parking charging
Hasn't Westport Lake introduced the machines, but weren't supposed to charge until 10/01/2022
Wonder if this is similar?

Almost caught me out before the derby game. None of the machines would work with cards and I didn’t have any cash on me. A big thanks to the very kind lady who gave me 2 pound coins. Yesterday I had to get some change from the bus ticket office! The machines also do not give change!

What a joke, these business's closing all the time, everything is against them.
I haven't shopped in stoke on trent for nearly 20 years, I go the Trafford centre (free parking).
I don't go often so make a day of it, but paying for parking is just one of a list why not to go, and the added confusion when you try abide by the rules they still fine yh.

I don't go often so make a day of it, but paying for parking is just one of a list why not to go, and the added confusion when you try abide by the rules they still fine yh. Appeal again and fight it. It is pretty standard for the council to reject them thinking you will just shut up and pay. forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/parking-tickets-fines-parkingWhat are the reasons for rejecting the appeal? EDIT: Meant to tag the post above. |
