I recently parked by mistake in the forecourt of a business next door to where I was visiting.The other co's parking space was literally 3 feet away.As soon as I realised, I moved my car to the
"correct" space. I was only parked initially for 5 mins, as the shop told me I shouldn't park there.
I was caught on camera mounted on the co's wall. The car park was otherwise almost empty.
I feel the warning notices were not very obvious and small. I feel this is pure highway robbery and
should be banned, especially for such a short period of "infringement". Surely, in a civilised
country, fair verbal warning should be given, or at least a barrier should be erected.

Have you received a parking charge notice? Or are you just sounding off about private parking charges in general?
Which parking company is involved please?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
