Parking stories in the News/media

I liked LD Transport spokesperson Mr Paul Kohler's snipe at the Tories in his speech at the parking debate....
"As one can see from the attendance at the debate, it is a real issue across the country—although oddly not in many Conservative constituencies, it seems."6 -
What is needed is a regulator such as the FCA to take over from the BPA and IPC.
Whilst the BPA / IPC are in charge, the scam will continue, it is the parking companies / dodgy legals and debt collectors running the BPA / IPC4 -
FCA or CMA should be the regulator.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Another story of unclear signs & lines. The victim apparently parked 'in the wrong bay':

Norfolk's finest, NPE.
National Parking Enforcement Ltd
Interesting screenshot of the IAS website which tells people that the 'adjudicator' will consider ONLY the operator's evidence and 'NOTHING ELSE'.
Sounds normal for Norfolk / NPE / IAS...
The IPC must be so proud.

From the IPC's LinkedIn feed yesterday (they have posted it before).
And this response from the comments
Always remember to abide by Space Corps Directive 39436175880932/B:
'All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space.'

Here's another proud moment for the IPC:
Predatory (illegal, IMHO) CCTV yet again:
iPark Services reckon they can slap a McDonalds customer for pulling over for FOUR MINUTES as instructed at the busy drive-thru:
https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/four-minute-mcdonalds-big-mac-10018040.amp
And - true to form - iPark rejected the appeal in ten minutes flat and it looks like the clueless victim actually thinks she has to pay £60.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
