    An interesting FOI request about a PCN issued by OPS' previous company at Chichester College.

    The originator seems to have gone cold on this despite lots of opportunity to put the college under a great deal of pressure. 4 years have passed since, so unlikely that there was anything conclusive as an outcome.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I am a regular at Greggs and a big fan of their sausage rolls but my inbox has been filling up with some very unhappy customers.

    It seems the new Peacehaven shop has become a money spinner of a different kind not for Greggs but for a private parking company.

    This morning my office spoke to Peacehaven Greggs staff who said that there are as many as 30 parking tickets a day issued outside the shop.

    At £100 a pop that is a potential £3,000 a day from people ducking in for a baked good.

    I am writing to the Co-op and Greggs about the seemingly aggressive tactics of One Parking Solution as well as writing to them directly about their aggressive tactics and appeals process.

    If you have had a legitimate appeal denied or a negative experience please get in contact with my office on lloyd@russell-moyle.co.uk

    Also just a quick final reminder, please don't be rude to the staff in these shops, they haven't made these policy decisions and are just trying to do their jobs.

    A win for Greggs fans and Peacehaven residents!
    My office has just been informed that One Parking Solution has had their contract cancelled and will no longer be monitoring the site as of the 3rd of August.
    The site's management have committed to better yellow lines and clearer signage around parking arrangements for the car park that services Greggs, Costa and the Co-op.
    For those of you who don't know, One Parking Solution had been engaged in alleged predatory behaviour, ticketing cars for sometimes very dubious reasons.
    I was told by staff working in the nearby shops that they would issue more than 10 tickets a day, pulling in thousands of pounds a week for the parking company.
    Thanks to the Co-op, Costa, Greggs and all the residents that raised the issue and put pressure on the site management to get the change.
    We can all drop in for a sausage roll without fear of an unfair parking ticket!

    Great news!

    Sounds like a cause for a Friday drink to celebrate.
    Might use the £100 that OPS was hoping to extract from me.

    Cheers OPS!
