In another thread I mentioned the dangers of parking in privately operated seaside car parks. The Blackpool area is notorious for problems and this one is at nearby St Annes.

I had a trip to there to get some photos.

This is the entrance.

These photos are taken from the actual car park area.

The total lack of signage an attendant waits for the drivers to leave their cars before pouncing.

There is a ticket machine that one motorist managed to find camouflaged against the Accrington brick walls of the pier building.

Those with magnifying eyesight might be able to read the signage.

Motorists beware of this car park and avoid. There are plenty of nearby council car parks.

    Checking the Fylde planning website I can't see any application for advertising consent for the signs!
  • I think the planners may regard it as 'de minimis'.

    IS that one of those so called forbidding signs?
