Highview Parking ticket(S)

Hi All,

I'll try and keep this quick. I have received 2 parking tickets from a retail park advertising 3 hours free parking (and have another expected to arrive soon).

The car park has recently changed ownership and whilst for a year beforehand the time enforced was 5 hours (even though 3 was written on the signage) it is now strictly enforced at 3 hours. Multiple members of staff inside the shopping centre have confirmed this 5-hour limit (last year).

Is there anything specific I should be doing? I am also a student if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

    you should be reading the NEWBIES sticky thread and appealing as KEEPER using the blue text template, appeal each one separately

    being a student is irrelevant, although we could say you should know how to do internet research like reading that thread for example, plus that hearsay its also irrelevant

    a landowner complaint is also advised too


    ps:- in future , tell the driver to read the signs wherever they park and stick to the rules, meaning if somewhere says 3 hours, assume that a further 10 minutes grace period at 3h 10 mins in total may be allowed but certainly not 2 hours overstay, otherwise it will become a very expensive lesson
