Travelodge Dockside, London E16, yesterday. Exceptionally confusing sign but I think it says £85 PCN with unspecified additional costs. I paid £4.50 via yourparking app which is a different cheaper rate to what's on the sign.

Colchester Hospital, today £70 Parking charge, unspecified additional charges if not paid before 28 days.

Waddon Station, Croydon, London. UKCPM permit, £100. Non-payment "...will result in additional charges.." but the charges are unspecified.1

Colonnades Retail Park, Croydon. UKPA state "Failure to make prompt payment...may result in...debt recovery action which may increase costs".
Those costs not specified (and neither is the timescale of "prompt")1 -
Grovebury Road Retail Park, Leighton Buzzard, Beds. Very difficult to find a sign here that is not damaged or extremely faded. If you do manage to find one, UKPC state that "Unpaid Parking charges may be passed onto third parties such as debt recovery agents at which point additional charges will apply". The additional charges aren't specified..2

Small retail park on the outskirts of Worle, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, BS22.
Shops include Sainsburys and TK Max along with several small independent shops.
1 The site is owned by the local council. They bought it a few years ago to generate income.
2 The signs only refer to Sainsburys, meaning that anyone going to any other shop is theoretically in breach of parking terms. However, as Point 1 above, Sainsburys no longer own the land.
3 £60 charge, but no mention of a reduction for early payment
4 Ts and Cs are too small to read whilst standing a meter away, let alone a car length away.
5 Additional charges mentioned but not quantified.
6 The small print says if ANPR is used or the parking charge isn't paid, the registered keeper will be liable. (My highlights)
Signs are sparse, especially up the TK Max end of the car park.

Leighton Buzzard Station, Beds. There are several car parks here; various operators. "Car Park No.2" is saba (I've not personally investigated if this is bylaw land). The font is _so_ tiny (the smallest I think I've personally ever seen) that I've failed to get a clear photo of the additional-DRA charge, it's literally at the limit of my and my phone camera's capability..It states: "Any subsequent enforcement action may incur additional costs that will be added to the value of the parking charge..." The additional costs aren't stated.3

Beaconsfield Services, J2, M40, yesterday. £100 PCN, no mention of extra charges after 28 days but there may be "administrative charges". Plus all charges are inclusive of VAT!!
