    That sign is horrendous.  How long would it take to read all od that I wonder, read this and complain to your MP.

    I assume it would have to be a complaint to the MP in the area of the sign rather than my own MP?
    I know the person I am assisting won't complain to their MP but I am certainly happy to complain purely as an 'observer' of the situation rather than as a victim.

    Seems to me it must be a split site , using 2 different parking companies , one for each section

    They won't be collaborating !
    I was sent a small video of the entrance & I cannot see any meters other than the Excel one. 
    Having never been there I can't confirm there are no other locations to pay but they must be well hidden if they are.

    Very weird. And that Excel sign is a nonsense ... you'd spend more than 5 minutes reading it even before you reach the (non-obvious) £100 PCN value. 🙄

    You only get Zero minutes to accept or reject according to the NTK PCN!

    You assume wrong !

    He said YOUR MP , the one for your constituency !

    Parliamentary rules dictate that you must go through your own local MP !

    Rules are rules , so no choice in the matter , so the complainant contacts their local MP , first

    You can ask your MP to contact the one for the location

    Who sent the original PCN? Excel or G24?

    Ref. no payment meters - perhaps the G24 site is free parking for X hours, so no payment required?

    If I were the judge I would reject purely on the technicality that the "0 minutes" rule creates the impossible situation of ANYBODY being able to satisfy the T&C's in the time allowed. All other rules being invalidated as you have committed the offence even if you do pay as required.

    Thanks.
    That is easier as my MP already knows of me. I will also be happy to mention this case to her too.

    Excel. 
    I only have the sign to reference I'm afraid. It gives very little detail other than it is a pay car park.

    No, Parliamnetary rules require that your MP is required to deal with the matter
