The ANPR camera partially hidden behind the entrance signage, there being no signage there or on the whole site to indicate that ANPR cameras are in operation.

No signage on the entrance to each individual car park (There are 4) to indicate that ANPR or charging at all times is in operation . . not even a courtesy notice for long-standing users:-

No notice stating the changed charging conditions on the front of the ticketing machine, only to the left side . . wait for it . . immediately in front of a disabled parking bay.

So, to avoid the full-charge I paid the early payment on 15th June 2021

Having paid £36.00 to District Enforcement, it's all over.
Nothing more to be said.

As far as you're your approach is concerned. 

You are right.

My objective, and the objective of most others on this moneysaving forum, is to save money.

Why pay anything?

If you are unaware that the parking charge conditions have changed . . . you're not looking at the ticketing machine or the other signage . . . now that is A CHEAP TRICK.

 Burnham Beeches is mentioned in the Woodland Trust web site . . . . . .

Although, last Thursday, I paid for a 2 hour stay (i usually do a circuit at walking pace in an hour and a half) I only got an hour as the car park was closed early for admin reasons. What ! First time this has happened ever since I've been going there.

Coupon-mad

This is too late; you have paid,  It is over. 

No-one told you to pay.  DO NOT pay parking charges to take 'advantage' of the discount bribe.


The only comeback you might have is my suggested complaint that Councils are not allowed to run car parks as if they were private land, then take the same complaint to the LA Ombudsman.
