More Highview lunacy.

Regarding the date of Mr Pugh's visit, the company said: "We were only notified that the site had been used for Covid testing more than a week later, and penalty charge notices were already issued.

It added that fines "issued to visitors incorrectly on this or any other specified date where testing is taking place" would be cancelled.

Were those verbatim comments from a Highview representative? (Rhetorical Q).

Lol, thanks for that link , it proves a theory I had when I saw private car parks being used for covid testing, an accident waiting to happen

It's also very good of Highview to admit that these are penalty charge notices and not parking charge notices

I believe that with the new CoP there should be a specific new name such as PPN for the notices so that it's easy to identify what it actually is, call a spade a spade , not a spoon

It is funny, though...

This is the BBC, who also referred to the charge as a fine, so take the word "penalty" with a bucket of salt.

This wasn't the first scamvoice issued for an overstay reported by the BBC during lockdown. The penalty word was used here as well.

The good news is that it has been reported on national news so perhaps more victims will be aware now and challenge the charges. Note the chap in the link from the OP was about to pay it. I wonder how many actually did.

Exactly, Fruitcake.
As we know, in private parking scumpany land, that big P is for Profit, nothing else.
