    Flats next to that Nursing Home

    ...think they have an OPS managed car park

    But there's no entrance sign facing drivers:



    See that sign saying 'Private' top right?
    ...closer pic taken this week by my relative:


    Google shows that under it is/was an OPS entrance sign a few years ago; now obliterated by the foliage:

    Has anyone been getting auto confirmations in response to their emails? I've sent about a dozen responses but hadn't been getting any acknowledgments until today. I'm just worried all my preceding emails have gone down a back hole and not been received.

    I can ask. I suspect ALL are received.

    I hear from another source that the Minister who was in charge of this project has resigned... Don't let it bother you. We just need someone strong.

    My Portslade relative got more pics from a drive along by the beachfront, where she spotted a Trading Estate with no barrier or PPC infestation.

    Business units with a large car park directly opposite the sea.

    The end of a notorious cash cow for Capital Car Park Control in bays directly outside:

    We've seen several threads about this scam "trap" of a site.

    This OP tells us that CCPC have been removed!


    BEFORE:

    markings originally said 'COSTA ONLY'

    changed to STAFF ONLY - but not obvious



    Costa Coffee apparently had so many complaints from customers with PCNs that they resorted to putting a big warning 'A board' outside:





    New photos now

    AFTER THIS NASTY PPC WAS REMOVED:





    NO PPC (now)

  • No actual signage but a good story to show how pressure on the landlord/owners can get their parking Agents to sort things out.

    I didn't receive an instant acknowledgment from DLUHC but one was in my inbox the following morning. Now I know my email was received I'm happy to forward my other finished responses on.

    While this thread is focusing on carparks/ photos, couldn't some of the poor paperwork that PPCs send to court/ motorists also be used as evidence?  even more so when thy supposedly use/are written by so called professional solicitors/legal teams.

    Could it be seen as evidence that they are abusing the legal process/ courts to Intimidate people into paying up?
