An unofficial private meet and greet parking company operating out of Gatport Airwick has gone bust.

Customer's cars have been abandoned all over the place including laybys and supermarket car parks. Many travellers have yet to find their cars.
The police have started an investigation.

This has also been reported in the Travel section of MSE.

This is not our usual parking question here, but abandoned cars may result in PCNs for some so we could see the aftermath of this here.
This is another reason why private parking should be regulated.

    Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

    Newbies take note, if your PCN was in the Crawley area car parks, like the big Tesco.

    Not that you ever need that sort of rubbish to push Highview over.

    :D
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
