They might well be doing, and here's your opportunity to input directly into anything they may be contemplating. The points you've made in your last post are some of the very ones that should be made to Government via this consultation process - go for it, both barrels.

I might have known given the excellent way this Forum operates that there would be something going on to address these Operators!!


Needless to say "both barrels". Having taken on both Bolton Council on a technical point of law which involved appealing to the SOS and winning and also a large Electrical retail and winning as well this holds no fear for me!! lol

what about the ANPR?

Always include signage. Have you checked every fine detail of the actual signs against the requirements set out in the BPA CoP, before meekly signing them off as 'probably compliant'? What about that whole swathe of minuscule font verbiage at the bottom of each sign, unreadable if up a 8 foot pole without the aid of a stepladder? Are you content that that unreadable chunk can form a contract with you?

ANPR is PE's principal method of 'car par management'. It is wholly (and solely) what they rely on - and you don't wish to challenge it?

keep the signage IN , keep the ANPR in , keep them all in bar POFA 2012

the point is that you allege they dont meet the BPA CoP , making them prove they do (which they rarely do)

you are no expert on anpr or signage, so its not about your opinion, its making PE prove their case to popla , on ALL points

so not a gpeol , no contract with the landowner , poor signage and anpr should be in , making them prove each and every point

as for your "rant" , we agree totally with you, so the question is what have YOU done about it ?

for example

1) I complained to my MP last year about this, especially hospitals as he is the shadow Health minister

2) I have complained on the government survey mentioned above (expiry 25th may 2015)

have a read of his other blogs while you are at it too

so do something about it , pleaseeeeeeeee !

Fair point about the signage Umkomass. In that stays too!


Re the ANPR. I was only pointing out the fact that the "invoice" does have on it the times of arrival and departure and because I hadn't visited these forums first the driver has admitted not paying - see post #1 for the story Given that what would the challenge be and what would your advice be?

Redx. My post about the ANPR's was being written as you posted so didn't see it till I had posted!

Oh and I will do something about it. Have read parking prankster for background.


cant believe (well yes I do) that this practice is so widespread (just look at the number of views on the home page of the forum) and some MP hasn't taken this up - nailed on vote winner really!

the landowner (the trust) follow the guidelines laid down by Jeremy Hunt last year so these types of problems should not exist

the landowner and car park operator should allow for retrospective payment by various methods in order to satisfy any contract between staff and themselves (like say paying up to 1 or 2 days later)

anpr doesnt manage car parking , the loss to the landowner is negligible and not £100

therefore all the points should be in the popla appeal

plus a complaint to the trust about not following department of health guidelines on parking issues, laid down in august 2014 by the Health Secretary
