Berkeley centre car park - fine for staying ~1.5hrs

Galloglass

The planning for the site has pics - though of a poor quality. Does this look like the area?

Hi Galloglass, 

That's the correct area, but the signs are currently different. Attaching a screenshot from google street view. I can also upload a pdf of the board which is legible.

Hi all,

I as keeper received a NTK from Excel parking regarding the Berkeley centre car park, Sheffield. This was a £100 charge (with the usual early payment discount) for parking without payment. As many people in similar posts, the driver was caught out by the free parking at this site being reduced from 2hrs to 1hr. The driver parked for about 1.5hrs. The contravention date was 12/11/22, the NTK was received on the 22/11/22. It was issued by Excel parking services limited (not VCS as seen in earlier posts).

Hi!

Have you got anywhere with this?  We've just been hit by a similar claim from them.  For two consecutive days.  ouch

A claim (court claim) or a NTK x 2?

An NTK x2!

My partner parked there on two consecutive days doing Christmas shopping.  They only intended being 30 mins, so took the free hour parking ticket.  But on realising they would be longer (after 30-40 mins), went back and paid for two hours parking.  Leaving after a total of 90 minutes after entering.

Then thought nothing of it, until the first NTK came through.  Then the second.

OK you need to start your own discussion thread if you want assistance.  Give more detail there, pics of the signs would be good.

Are Workman LLP the  maintenance / management company for the buildings perhaps and not the carpark?
In the contract Excel had from 2018 :
  https://us.v-cdn.net/6031891/uploads/editor/9h/dly86chtw2yp.pdf
 is with landowner   THRE (UK) property fund - that was TH Real Estate,( a company now dissolved) c/o lambert Smith Hampton   https://www.lsh.co.uk/explore/directory/offices/sheffield   - a property consultancy company,the pact signed by the lady herself Katy Brindley may be the one to contact.
LSH were the company applying for planning permission for the signage to the carpark on behalf of Harrison.
Could we ask at court proceedings evidence the parking operator has a valid contract with the current landowner and evidence of ownership of the land ie. Land register proof and if the contract is only with the consultancy company, evidence the current land owner has given permission to the agency Excel have the contract with for the parking controls as imposed. If any permissions are with a dissolved company would the contract still be valid with present owning company?
If i bought a house and somebody came in the garden picking my flowers and on challenge the said the previous owner had given them permission (in writing) would I have to allow it or is the contract gone with previous owner?
