Bannatynes parking

davidbrian55

Bannatynes gym in Norwich now has camera controlled parking (and is taking down tennis courts to provide more parking spaces to nearby companies, sod the 'health club'). Members of the club will be fined if they forget to put in registration numbers of their car. But it's a members car park! Bannatyne, in his rush to make money, has passed the running of his parking, to a contractor. If a ticket is issued, £100, can it be ignored? Bannatyne says 'nothing to do with him'.

Easy... When they ask you to renew your membership refuse giving them the message "I'm out!".

Maybe he'd better look up what "contractor" means. It has everything to do with Bannatyne, and you need to put them on notice that THEY are responsible for the actions of their contractors, including being on the end of any lawsuits or claims that come from the actions of those contractors.

Having semi-shamed Duncan would you care to let us know who the "contractor" is?

In fact, write to them now telling them that the contract is not to be renewed upon expiry (or giving them the necessary notice of cancellation, whatever is required under the contract), and tell them why.

Diarise the due date of your last payment under the existing contract, so you don't forget to cancel the direct debit mandate afterwards.

Other gyms are available.

No!

Now read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES to find out why, and how to beat any scam ticket whilst you inform the Gym why you will be leaving to find one that actually cares about their members.

No they will not be fined.

It's good old Parking Eye.

I wonder how many members will be leaving. Does Duncan really need the money that badly?

He did not get Rich been a nice guy, that is just his act.

He seems a sensible enough chap, why not write to him in measured tones pointing out the downside, (to him), of inviting a PPC to harass his customers.
