Probably more to do with expiring contracts, firms now poach car parks by offering the most money so lucrative it is.
Parking Eye have huge overheads to maintain and small lighter firms can easily outbid them for site contracts as with feet on the ground they can put out tickets for breaking silly rules that parking eye can not with ANPR.

Yes, very possibly, although their negative press of late certainly won't have helped make them an attractive option for contract renewal. No new signs have gone up yet, but I'm there fairly often so it'll be interesting who, if anyone, takes their place.

Landowners are there to make money, what Parking eye have done by pursuing Beavis is opened a can of worms that can never be put back.
They have show landowners that they are prepared to pay £1000+ a week to operate.
Now if you own a car park, your money making antenna must have just pick up on that nugget.
The sites were often given out free in return for "management", now the land owners want their share of the cake .
Parking Eye are not going to win the bidding wars are they as they carry huge overheads and people are at last starting to avoid businesses that use them.
Even the most stupid after two or three wallet dips from Parking Eye will stay away.
A terminal point is on the horizon, one where they are locked to short term contracts that they have to bid for with smaller, lighter operators and the increasing need to make a profit from sites means they are going to run out of road.
Interesting times, get popcorn !

They also been kicked out of Whitlingham country park,the parks trustees were "fed up" with the constant barrage of complaints about P.E and their dirty tactics AND the trust has terminated the "contrct" with P.E TWO years early apparently by "mutual" agreement...hurrah for them...hope it had nothing to do with someone who kept putting stickers directing people to MSE and PEPIPOO..tch tch.
There was also someone who kept "supergluing" the slots on the P&D machines...tch tch...
and not forgetting the person or persons who kept backing into P.Es ANPR system knocking it out of kilter...tch tch...mind you I can just imagine those knuckle draggers viewing the cows on the other side of the field....
IT WASNT ME!!!!! sounds a lot of hate for PE....bye bye PE.....Norfolk peeps are tough ole sods !!!!!!s

My guess is that if the outcome of the next COA finds in Beavis's favour, it could open the floodgates to huge numbers of claims for refunds. If this happens, I suspect that the claims presented against the PPCs would be referred back to the landowners who engaged them. If this happened, the landowners could face some very expensive claims indeed. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.

What' the thinking on this? He lost at the Appeal Court and is taking it to the Supreme Court, but I've not kept up with developments since. Is there a general feeling of optimism?
