    Third go - what type of car park?

    Please answer all the questions, we don't ask them for fun.
    It was a small car park at the end of a residential street, not attached to any of the above.

    My local council's website has a spreadsheet listing all those premises where non-domestic rates are payable and who pays them.

    By putting Keaton Road car park owner into google I found this article:

    Reading the article, one finds:
    Plymouth Live has attempted to make contact with the Ivy Freemasons about the situation to see if there is anything they can do in their capacity as the car park's freeholder.

    The local council is south hams, I've had a look but don't know where to start or what to search

    Then click on Contact our Business Rates team.
    Submit your query - which will be something like "can you please tell me the name and address of whoever pays the Business Rates for Keaton Rd car park, Ivybridge, PL21 9DH".

    I suspect the answer will be Ivybridge Freemasons as suggested in post #14 above.

    The Freemasons 'Erme Lodge' is at the far end of the car park - facing on to Western Road. This building>> goo.gl/maps/epUCxGy9aQTKXS87A

    Follow the advice above, and depending upon how much you want to fight back, as a second front you could start chasing up the planning side of things. Nearby church, nice looking street ( keaton road - going by streetview) Conservation area? planning permission for the anpr camera on a pole?

    This overview of the car park certainly seems to show a shortage of signs:
    That image was taken three years ago. Best to get some more contemporary pics if you can.

    Post #14 tells you who it is. All that was needed was Googling.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi, thanks so much for all your help so far.

    We went back there last night to have a look at signage etc.

    There is only one sign in the carpark that shows tariffs and t&c, but then it's a small car park?
