    Euro Car Parks won't own the car park.

    Can you be more specific as GSV throws up about a dozen car parks using the information you supplied. A GSV link would be best.
    Working backwards from the location code provided by the OP, it looks to be 'Cornhill Street Car Park' on Google Maps.

    You can see the infamous £5.50 (not) ALL DAY sign if you click the 'Photos > sign' (taken only a couple of months ago) and if you have your magnifying glass out, you can also see the actual pricing by the meter on the left.

    I'm guessing from the 2 star rating that the scammers have been hard at work. I'm sure the person that typed that POPLA response had trouble keeping a straight face (but the response was completely predictable).

    Thanks everybody. We will await the letters. I have also reported it to my local councillor who has forwarded it to the relevant department in the city council to be investigated.

    Can't be a council owned car park though I doubt you will get much joy there unfortunately.

    When is a day not a day. When it's a Euro Car Park day.
