    No, it doesn't say that.
    In fact it doesn't say anything, so you have no cause of action to answer!

    From me complaining to the local council, I have now made the news !

    Certainly very shady not having permission!
    All part of a strong fightback!

    The article:

    A car park has been using automatic number plate cameras without permission for the last six years, it has emerged.

    Agents for Creative Car Park have now applied to Telford and Wrekin Council for retrospective permission for the cameras and for warning signs.

    A lawyer who specialises in challenging prosecutions said it did not necessarily mean motorists who were fined for parking in the car park in Trench Lock near the KFC and Starbucks could ask for a refund.

    Nick Freeman, of Manchester-based Freeman & Co Solicitors, said it was a "complex area of law" and there was "certainly no automatic right to a refund".

    The agents said the cameras in the car park were intended to ensure it was only used by customers.

    In their planning application, JMW Solicitors said the cameras log entry and exit times and allow penalty notices to be issued to motorists who overstay their time or do not make use of the KFC.

    The retrospective planning application seeks approval for 14 signs on lampposts and two cameras which detect car number plates.

    So even after the news of the lack of planning permission for the anpr cameras I have still received a witness statement from MR wonga himself ... I cannot fathom how they have the nerve to still harass me for a wholly incorrect penalty charge notice ! Looking forward to my day in court !

    Please post the full template WS here:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6632917/cel-witness-statements-group-thread/p1

    As I said on that group thread in October:
    We have half a dozen posters with one of them this week alone, and although all these WS will all be the same, they could all then use these to show the judge what CEL are doing and ask for the WS to be struck out and/or the ex-Wonga 'Head of Legal' barrister Scott Wilson being required to attend for cross-examination.

    I know we don't normally want to see the 'same old same old' images but this thread could be a useful resource, especially if we gather more than a dozen exact same WS. 

    Wonga-man has pre-signed a shedload of template WS galore, none of which have any evidence specific to the case. Am I right?

    Please screenshot the pages and show the whole thing there so we have evidence everyone can use, to show this abuse.
