If you'd parked in Sheffield City Centre who you consider South Yorkshire Police to be negligent for the damage?

After all they have cctv and officers on patrol.

Well i wouldn't need to prove negligence because they have CCTV which would have caught whoever had done this. By meadowhall not having CCTV in one of their car parks when its provided in other car parks means that i couldn't see who had done this and therefore has to pay my excess. Because im a new driver this could have a serious impact on my policy

So having cctv images means you wouldn't have to pay. Unless someone was caught who would?

CCTV is not a magic wand. It is not possible to cover all those car parking spaces by CCTV even on the upper level.
They are not negligent in any way. It is a very safe place to park & if CCTV is a big concern for you maybe park on the Upper level if you think that the CCTV will be recording your individual car in such a quality that good evidence will be obtained without human intervention.

Well having CCTV would mean that i wouldn't have to pay because they would have been caught on camera and then it comes out of their insurance, i agree its hard to catch everything like i said i'm new at all this stuff so i didn't n o whether i had anything. Thanks for all your advice !!

To repeat myself:

Do you believe that every car on the Upper Red car park, where you say CCTV is present, is being recorded at close range, so the images are good for evidential purposes?
Plus it would not come out of Meadowhall's insurance if someone is caught after CCTV footage is reviewed or even in the act as they are not liable.

Do you think a hoodie with a brick has insurance or are you saying another vehicle has hit yours?

My mistake. I thought she meant Meadowhall's insurance.
