    I wrote this poster a Stanmer Park 'special' POPLA appeal, which was stayed while POPLA was resting, and now OPS have said they are not contesting it.

    I'm not surprised they capitulated if you wrote it!  Nice one @Coupon-mad.

    But now they have been shipped out of that part of Stanmer Park, and the Council has proper P&D machines.  Have to say the signage (Council) was woeful still when I went there to meet a Brighton friend for a (distanced) dog walk the other week but the pay machines are 'in your face'.  Very fiddly though and the sun shone on the screen...but at least with Council enforcement you know that you don't have the useless five minutes flat to make the machine work.

    Unfortunately, in their infinite wisdom the Council has allowed OPS to issue parking charges in the top part of the park, called Stanmer Village, and residents are up in arms about that.  And of course the housing contract for the whole of BHCC residential sites is still with OPS., so that template 'not relevant land' POPLA appeal can still be dusted off and adapted for those cases.

My advice to all to stick to your guns and don't give up!!! Plus I wont be going back to Stanmer Park again!!! I am very grateful to everyone who has helped, this board has been amazing. Thanks for the support, especially to @Coupon-mad
    Regards to all and don't let the b------- get away with it!

    Great stuff! 

    See my reply on the POPLA DECISIONS thread...we need you back to make your experience heard to Government this Summer - Government consultation coming soon, final chance to drown out the greedy mantra from the parking industry with real people’s views.

    They haven't been back to the forum for over 3 months, so may never see your post. PM them anyway, they will then receive an email to say you are trying to connect with them.

    Send a pm to @ParkingMad as she takes an interest and helps people with Stanmer Park cases.  She is local and has loads of photos of the signs, plus all the landowner contracts and loads of info.
