    No answer is needed to that.
    You already have your answer.

    You'd best be deciding how you're going to deal with it. Ignoring it isn't the answer. If you want help from the forum, start by reading the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, then start a new thread of your own for bespoke advice about your own case. 

    Please, no more posts on this thread as it belongs to @Ty667, and we don't want to get advice mixed up between various posters. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    If there was space to park there without blocking any access then it’s strange that there wasn’t a marked bay, as that would provide more income.

    Except they hope to get much much more income when someone parks outside a bay.
    This is called entrapment.

    It really isn’t, and I’m pretty sure that’s not what’s happening.

    Not in a free car park (if that's what you mean by 'income').
