That is a crap, badly damaged and unlit sign. Wonder why PE are not suing and have instead farmed the case out to aggressive but time-wasting gaslighters?

Yes it is. It's also not actually in the car park it's on the outside wall as you turn in so there's really no time to give it a full read before you're in there. 

How the hell can you see that sign let alone read it if it is obscured by pedestrians or a vehicle. Plus the signs inside the carpark are nearly obscured by those parked vans, depending on  the angle you'd not be able to see them at all depending on ones approach that day. If any vans or big SUVs were parked there you can't see them let alone read!  Much like the entry sign would be harder to see on a right turn approach or even a left turn if obscured by a car moving in the opposite carriageway.  Can they prove it wasn't blocked at the contravention time via means of external cctv? I'd ask them for this in a SAR.

You mentioned 7/8 o'clock- depending on the time of year its often dark/ pitch black at these times which makes it even more difficult to see or read a dirty broken obscured unlit sign!

Bit of an update.
 
Been annoyed about this since receiving the letter from QDR so been looking at previous posts about this select car park and also trying to find the landowner but couldn't find them to contact. However I ended up emailing parking eye about the state of the car park and why the driver at the time didn't pay. They emailed back saying I could appeal this on their website and I did. They rejected the appeal and have given me a POPLA code. Can anyone suggest how I write my appeal to POPLA. Thank you

Search the forum for Aire Street POPLA. 

Been done before, several times, and there may be threads with photos of the signage in 2020.  I seem to recall a black sign that isn't prominent!

There was also something odd about the landowner authority trail.  Seem to recall it was leased to a different parking firm yet PEye  were issuing PCNs.  Maybe that's why they aren't suing over this site.  Maybe they can't, or have no standing or authority to litigate.

Is the PCN £100 reduced to £60?  Or is it less? Interesting that this is a 2 year old PCN yet PEye are prepared to re-offer the discount which no other parking firm does.

They do act more professionally than most - and never add false fees themselves even though QDR have tried to line their own pockets with that fakery - but PEye mainly labour under a sort of 'millionaire greed syndrome' which blinkers them about real life and real people's rights and interests, IMHO.

They issue FAR too many questionable PCNs, around two million per annum.  It's got to stop but they can't see it.

Driving around in £160k supercars (as we know they do from a photo) and living in the lap of luxury probably does that to people. Greed and entitlement.   It seems that the likes of PEye can't believe the Government intend to cap parking charges and make them more proportionate to the minor conduct that gave rise to a charge.

They need reining in with the rest of the PPCs by the new incoming Code of Practice snd regulation, but it is refreshing to see, over two years after the parking event, a no-quibble appeal and POPLA code.

Only goes to prove in our minds, the obvious 'extortion' (Minister's word) of the added £70 QDR were sniffing around for. Unbelievable little earner for a parasite DRA roboclaim git. They were demanding £170 no doubt.

Yet their so called client, ParkingEye would take £60 even after 2 years.

What more proof do we need of the extortion of the DRA bullyboy middle men?  Thanks for showing that letter.

Thanks for the help, will write an appeal for POPLA. I'll base it mainly around the poor signage and then obviously the other things on the newbies thread. 

Is it worth mentioning to them about the condition of the car park? The fact it's like a building site for instance 😂

I see that you've received copies of previous correspondence from PE via your Subject Access Request. Could you look at the very first letter they sent you - 'Notice to Keeper' - does it have a paragraph on the reverse side headed 'Protection of Freedoms Act 2012'?  Could be important for your POPLA appeal.

Hi mate sorry for the late response. No nothing like that on the back, I've attached that so you can see. Sorry it's small it's just a screen shot on my phone.
