Lancaster Park Virtual Permit
Good evening, We received this one today. Ive not come across a virtual permit charge before. Its near Leeds/Bradford Airport. Lancaster Park next to Costa. I dont have an image of the miniscule warning signs yet. Would I treat this the same as the generic car park/airport rip off PCNs? Thankyou for reading.

Thank you / success
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the advice here. I have just come out of my claim hearing, and the judge dismissed UKPA / Moorside’s claim in about 15 minutes on ‘balance of probabilities’. Thanks for all your help, and I believe the phrase is ‘another one bites the dust!’.
