Very overfilled car park damage - Are they liable?

Buy a nice Defender 90 and park anywhere, I am sure there are lots of verges around.

The field behind the fences looks ideal :rotfl:

There is absolutely no car parking spaces within a mile of the office.

A good 15 minute walk to work then, better than a hefty insurance premium rise.

I literally cannot believe you know what the word "literally" means.

Which it is.

Their company pays for 80 spaces.
Your company pays for 40 spaces.
Why should your company be rewarded for their penny-pinching parsimony by being allowed to use what somebody else pays for, but chooses not to use?

If all the desk space in your company's office is full, would you expect to be able to use a spare desk in their office?

I understand that its not our space but I said it to show that there is no way we could just park in there, as someone suggested earlier,

Some fell on stony ground.

Think you might have missed the point I was making there.

I'm relatively unsurprised.

So...

You have three choices.
1. Park somewhere else or use a different mode of transport to get to work.
2. Live with the current setup.
3. Persuade your employer that they need to address the issue.

Pick one.

I wouldn't even consider parking my car in that mess. Look for a new job.

I'd maybe try working out how much work time is wasted moving cars, if you're doing it several times a day, with several cars each. Then you can present a business case for them fixing it somehow (it may be cheaper to rent more spaces or even hire a valet for parking). Of course it could backfire and some of you will not be allowed to park, or you'll have to take moving time out of your breaks.
