Next door is a large business which does use a PPC, but with inadequate 'mixed message' signs threatening illegal clamping.
C Dugard Machine Tools
Old Shoreham Road
Hove
Brighton BN3Adjacent to Kwikfit (that has no parking abuse), restaurants and a pub that have no parking available.At first glance it looks like it might be a car park with clear contractual signs, but no:Release fee £60... (illegal but a deterrent!)
But apparently it's actually £100 says NPC who were clearly happy to put their sign joined onto an old clamping sign:Which is it?Clamping?
£60?
£100?INADEQUATE SIGNS = NO DETERRENTPRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

On the same road they also went to a place that most older BHA fans like me still boycott (the site of the old football stadium):Goldstone Retail Park
Old Shoreham Road
HoveBurger King
Nandos
TK Maxx
Lidl
DFS
Pets At Home
Sofa store
Euro Car Parks £100 max stay 3 hours but only 10 mins after 11pm
...but you wouldn't know that at the EV bays because my contact found no ECP signs:Nor are there any parking rules signs at all in the entire accessible bay area, nor at the parent & child bays either:There are yellow signs but only in the 'ordinary' bays. How odd. Bit of a trap.
You can see 2 signs here but the disabled and P&C bays in the middle row? Nothing:Not really a deterrent, is it Euro Car Parks?Almost as if you don't want those people who might take longer, to know about the time limit?

Nice of Euro Car Parks to confirm that charging an EV is not parking.2

Probably the biggest Home Bargins in the country , on a retail park with two other retailers. No infestation ......even at busy times PPC's are not required

I've been sent a shedload more evidence by Brighton & Hove people who I've helped over the years.
First up:
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
IN DETERRENT VALUE:
1. Portland Business Park:
versus
2. Portland Road Trading Estate:
Two multi-business parks on adjacent blocks.
Portland Road
Hove/Portslade
Brighton BN3
Ten minute walk from Portslade station which is a direct commuter route to Brighton & London.
The bigger one (pic 1) has no PPC.
PORTLAND BUSINESS PARK
NO CARMAGEDDON:
Looks like City Wood Floors is the ONLY unit that had a PPC once, but not any more:CANNOT BE A CURRENT SIGN. NO £££UNREADABLE AND NO MORE IN SIGHT:PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Pic 2
Portland Trading Estate, looks like this:
Martello Flats on the left.
Business units at the back.
No entrance sign, but broken and blacked out PPM signs inside:The only clear message is this one at the Martello apartments which appear to have no PPC because the person who took the pic saw nothing in that area about permits
No signs. No carmageddon.
Maybe PPM were removed,..who knows?
UNCLEAR SIGNS = NO DETERRENT
Ordinary drivers would see no difference between the two business parks. Both look unmanaged.
