  • All at Coop store and HQ claiming they are unable to cancel the fine. How can I persuade them otherwise?
  • Who exactly would be able to deliver the instruction? All I have spoken with to date seem woefully underqualified!
  • @Fruitcake the original PCN was issued due to the failure to disembark with child in tow within the aforedescribed 3 minutes 1 second elapse, instead electing to leave said bay and not engage in contract after this time. I suppose it all hinges on whether a judge would agree that this were a dilatory or indeed reasonable consideration period; can't see the commercial impact being anything other than disastrous, however, when it hits the local press.

    Have you got/can you get photos of the signs to see what they say? Does the wording say that a child must exit the vehicle when stopped in a gimmick bay? If it doesn't then there was no breach of Ts and Cs.
    In any case the vehicle wasn't parked because the driver had gone to read the signs before deciding to leave the site.

    See what others say, but depending on what the signs say it may be worth making an IAS appeal.

    If you are talking about NPE at Earlham House, then that "scam" has been all over the press for years, including petitions to remove NPE and a Councillor writing a letter of complaint to the Government.

    We have threads galore about NPE at Earlham if it is that location, including people with children in the parent & child bays.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    If only it DID say that… everyone is a “child” of someone. Anyone could park there without breaching that term.  >:)
    The PCN specifies 'child under 12' - I wonder how they ascertain this? Do they ask for proof of ID?

    This was in Stowmarket, at a different location that it transpires has been subject to numerous similar reports
