Parking - The great debate

No, what I'm getting at, if it's a free car park, then the loss is nil. If it's £1.20 per hour and I'm 10 minutes over, then the loss is 20p, so you bill me for 20p. If I don't pay then you take me to court and the various costs incurred in that are then add on.
To penalise me by anything from £50-£100+ for 10 minutes, is unjustly high.
(and I'm not talking about your 'ethical' PPC. I'm talking about PPCs in general).
Free car parks are provided with time limits to enable larger numbers of people to pass through and are normally for customers of a set location. The site owner loses revenue if the spaces are all full due to people abusing the timelines given. This would constitute a loss of earnings.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Does the owner of the land not offer the parking service - which I take to be a euphemism for a space?
Im the managing agent so as such i provide any services on the land managed by myself.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

How would this loss be calculated? And by whom?
The site owner may not lose any revenue if the car park is leased to a number of venues, for example in a retail park. How many cars are parked may not necessarily have any effect on his (or her) revenue.0 -

The problem being who sets the time I hate shopping so I go for what I want grab it pay and go. My wife can take hours over a pair of shoes alone.0 -
But as an alternate the sites on that land may then complain to the landlord regarding loss of income. This may lead to witholding rent (extreme but possible) so in theory the rent on large commerical properties can go into the thousands. I best get my tickets changed.How would this loss be calculated? And by whom?

Also some sites operate where the leaseholders pay towards th ecommunal area and as suc they have an invested interest in the car park and can claim direct loss.
Who decides the loss? God only knows but regardless of what is decided one side will always be unhappy.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Very true.
There is a large retail complex not too far from me where it is possible to go shopping have lunch see a movie, have an evening meal and then go bowling so easy to spend a long time there, certainly well in excess of 6 hours. Fortunately there is no time limit advised in their free car park.0 -
The time limits SHOULD be set by experts who have review the stats on site. In reality they are actually set by managers of the site or the stores much to the G.P's disbelief. Dont forget most PPC'S give an amount to the landowner/leaseholder.The problem being who sets the time I hate shopping so I go for what I want grab it pay and go.
