Given the scale of this in your wife's case (and many others in her department from your comments), I'm utterly amazed that the PPC hasn't either pursued this legally, or cut their losses, given up and no longer ticket/pursue.

Where does she and others park? On hospital grounds? Is there nothing the Trust (or Union) can do to sort this and have them placed on a 'white list'.

The apparent scale of this is breathtaking. Thank your lucky stars ParkingEye aren't the contractor!

I had a similar situation about 18 months ago. I received about 35 tickets in 3 months and my 5 or so colleagues received the same, and it was PE.

By way of background, my employers building adjoined a hotel with a shared driveway between the two buildings leading to two separate car parks. One day PE rocked up and installed their cameras at the beginning of the driveway where you turned in off the road. No contact with my employer or anything. Yes, you've guessed it we started getting tickets.

My employers solicitors contacted PE and it transpired the hotel hadn't bothered telling PE about the shared driveway and our presence. Then it got messy, PE wanted our registration numbers (and those of visitors) to go on a 'white list'. My then boss being a stubborn b**ch point blank refused, primarily because the deeds to the building required that we had unfettered access to our car park via the shared driveway and with visitors and different clients visiting daily it would have been an unacceptable imposition to have to contact PE with the registration numbers.

I left shortly afterwards with PE having cancelled about half the tickets and I haven't heard anything about the rest.

I believe Vinci has a majority of NHS contracts in Wales , it's not hospital by hospital it's by trust .

I can't see it going to court, but I suggest that the driver tries to comply with what is in place now. The NHS trust involved should be ashamed of themselves as it's their employees ticketing, they also receive 75% of the money of paid tickets! how vinci will explain this to a judge is beyond me.

The only way this will go to court is if the employer takes the employee there, this will open a very big can of worms,, maybe the daily mail would be interested in this as they are running a series of articles on this scam

I think your wife needs to raise this formally with the Trust because clearly as an employer they cannot allow their employees to be put in this Catch 22 situation of being forced to park wherever they can to deal with emergencies, yet by doing so invokes a parking charge.

The stress this must bring to staff surely has health and safety/welfare at work connotations? What about your wife's staff representatives; they should be brought into this!

You may be able to confirm if there is any truth in this;

I've read elsewhere that any charges cannot be enforced if the vehicle is parked on a ground floor open area without barriers as it isn't creating an obstruction. The charges can only be enforced if the vehicle is incorrectly parked without a ticket on a 1st floor or above or behind a barrier therefore creating an obstruction?

Never heard of that - maybe some pub expert's been proffering advice?
