Car Parking Partnership (CCP) - NHS Hospital Fine
nhsparking
Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi,
I am a member of staff at an NHS hospital and pay for a parking permit each month in order to park on the car park at my hospital. I have recieved a fine from CPP for being parked on the wrong floor of the car park and I am wondering what I should do. There is one small sign at the car park entrance which states that floors 4-7 are for permit holders only (which to me implies that visitors are not allowed to park there rather than that permit holders are not allowed to park anywhere else) and there are no further signs stating this in the car park. There are also no signs which state that staff with permits can be fined £60 for parking below floor 4. I have appealed to CCP however, thet say that there is insufficient evidence to cancel my fine. However, I still do not feel I should have to pay it when I already pay such a large amount of money each month for a permit. Does any one have any ideas what I should do? :mad:

Judst ignore the swines, they will never risk going anywhere near a court with that sign. And no, they can't clamp for an unpaid invoice (not fine) and no you will not get a ccj from this either.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I agree with not paying but I can also see the reason for the parking policy.
If all the staff can park where they like and the visitors can't , then the staff could theorectically fill up floors 1-3 leaving 4-7 empty but unavailable to visitors.
Surely a more common sense approach would be to let everyone park where they like ,permit holders don't have to buy a ticket and non permit holders do ,simples ?0 -
And if you are in the Union raise it with them.0

I expect they like to keep 3 levels free for visitors to make sure there are a minimum amount of spaces available to them
However this is certainly not made clear in the signage.
Ignore, ignore, ignoreOne important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0
