This is the real world!
If they couldn't make money then we would just see the car parks removed and sold to build on.
We wouldn't gain, so whats the point. Whilst some idiots are paying the tickets the car park doors remain open. If they loose control and nobody pays then why would we even have these car parks open anymore... Even the local gov have sold off so many parking spaces in recent years (Fact)0 -
No way, I want to retain the right to obtain details of anyone I need to get the details of and am not willing to lose this. If they want to charge firms £10 per enquiry, that's fine - but their business model will dictate the 'fines' will need to increase to cover these costs.
Nobody is taking away your "right", nor mine. With a raised fee, one will think, "ah, do I really need this information?". If they do, they'll pay £1,000. I mean, if they're right in their demand, they'll get it back in the end.0 -
I don't think many retail parks or supermarkets would sell off their car parks for building land. Where are their customers going to park? It's in these sort of places were most PPCs operate.
A better idea is to have pay on exit barriers. That way you get rid of PPCs and the supermarket has control over unauthorised parking.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

True I suppose, I thought that they always cancelled the charges anyway.
Well I sent a complaint to TCP when I got a ticket on ASDA. Everyone said ignore but I couldn't because I didn't want letters to go to the RK.
They sent me a letter 3 months later and confirmed that it had been cancelled.
So I guess ASDA has told them to cancel whatever people complaint about? Why else would they if they want the money so much?
Anyway I don't get tickets on supermarket car parks, unless I forget to pay! LOL. I can't understand why people overstay... I never consider a car park like this as an option to park for a long time.
I notice a lot of Local Gov departments are now taking these car parks as their own and dealing with enforcement under off street TRO'S.0 -
You can get them in some serious trouble for breaching the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations which are the law. Specifically this sub section.
"4. Not being true to the terms of the endorsement
Claiming that a trader (including his/her commercial
practices) or a product has been approved, endorsed
or authorised by a public or private body when he/she/it
has not, or making such a claim without complying with
the terms of the approval, endorsement or authorisation"

I never understand why retail parks only have a 2 hour limit to park on them.

A retail park near me has a whole host of stores, cinema, restraunts, bowling, supermarkets ect. but only has a 2 hour limit on it. That has to be bad buisness for the retailers on there ! I dont know why they let it go on!0 -
The 2 hour limit may be displayed in retail parks but will almost certainly be a product of the PPC that patrol it and, IMHO, is simply a tripwire establish to generate revenue. The logic is inescapable. If there are cinemas, bowling allies etc etc then the obvious purpose of the retail park is to draw people in and keep them there until their pockets have been emptied. The time limit is unreasonable and serves only one purpose - and that isn't the overall purpose of the park.I never understand why retail parks only have a 2 hour limit to park on them.

I dont know why they let it go on!My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
Same near us, bowling alley closing due to clampers after 3 hours.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Does anyone know if a wee email to DVLA might be in order asking if the support TCP's parking charges?
emailed, and dvla responded thus :cool:Thank you for your note, which has been passed to me to respond to.
I can confirm that is a misrepresentation and DVLA does not "support" these notices in the way that the statement could lead people to believe.
We have asked Town and City Parking to remove this as a matter of urgency and will be reporting this to the BPA.
Kind regards,
