Why on earth do you call it 'a 'fine'?

You know full well it's just another scam invoice.🙂

I really do hate the sarcastic replies some people's queries get.  Is it really necessary?  Just because you know everything about PCNs doesn't mean that others do.  People are much more likely to follow through the process if others were more welcoming and the stuff on the newbies which much easier to navigate.

Please address yourself and your own use of 'hate' .
There was no sarcasm, only accuracy.
It's vital that yellowstickers (excellent moniker👍😁) understands that speculative invoices issued by parking company bounty hunters are never fines.

@fisherjim This is superb to see; are those signs current? NPE surprisingly declined my requests to provide the data on the tests to which their signage had been submitted and now we have it in its glory.

As KiethP confirmed those screen grabs are from GSV March 2022 however in my experience PPC's rarely replace tatty/ broken/missing signage except when it's advantageous to them, their whole business model is about spending as little as possible for maximum return.

The only way you will know if they are bang up to date is a re-visit and take dated photos.

PPC's will supply stock images of signage for evidence from their files, rarely actual on site images and in some cases their evidence won't even be the right location.

The COP they are supposed to be working to is here> https://www.parkingprotection.co.uk/assets/Uploads/Code-of-Practice-v8.pdf

Note sections on signage!

Heading over tomorrow; giddy with anticipation!

That's good to read, yellowstickers.👍
Your images will also help others hooked in the future.
Best of luck today.

Could this be why,   Forum Home» Motoring» Parking tickets, fines & parking  Perhaps you could point us in the direction of that first forum rule as I cant find it either.

Heartbroken to discover that the signs have not withstood the elements at all well. Can any among you actually make out the words preceding "car" in the section on baby and parent parking? Also, I cannot for the life of me discern a time limit of disembarkation; could it be completely arbitrary?

I've just realised that these are do bad as to appear doctored.

When you say 'baby and parent parking' do you mean the section that talks about parking in a parent and child bay? If so, I don't seen the word 'car' there, or anywhere in fact apart from at the top when it says 'This car park....'.

The section on parking in a parent and child bay imo says, (or did say before the sign was damaged) 'Vehicles parking in a parent and child bay must be accompanied out of the vehicle by a child 12 years old or under'

Your overthinking and over doing all of this
