11 Smart Parking PCNs received together – all delivered on the same day after alleged parking events
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding 11 Parking Charge Notices issued by Smart Parking. All of the alleged parking events took place at the same location over a period of time. However, I did not receive any of the notices individually. Instead, every single PCN was delivered together on 13 July 2026, meaning…

Tesco Hove, Horizon PCN
Hi, I've received a PCN from Horizon dated 27 July for an 18th July breach - failure to validate. I wasn't aware the rules had changed at Tesco Hove, but I don't go there very often any more. I got it a few days before I went on holiday so stuffed it in my bag and am now dealing with it. I noted the recent comments like…

Parking Ticket overstay free 1 hour
Hello, went to McDonald's, for an apparent total time of 1 hour 13 minutes. I think the carpark was for Wickes which is right next to it, like a business park.

Horizon at Tesco Hove "date of breach 15 Sept" "parking charge issue date 6 Oct"
There was no screen ticket. As I understand it, the failure by Horizon to send an ANPR notice with 14 days means as long as the keeper does not name the driver, there is no case. I'd welcome cofirmation of this. If that's correct, is the recommendation still to contact Tesco first, given that it is essential the driver not…
