  • The appeal to Euro Car Parks was successful. Thank you all for the advice.

    I am pleased to inform you that your appeal has been successful. The parking charge notice has been
    cancelled as gesture of goodwill on this occasion only.

    Please be advised that EV charging user must register their full and correct vehicle
    registration via console located on the premises during opening hours. Out of pub opening
    hours users must text PARK 3824 with their full and correct vehicle registration to 88440 to
    cover the parking period whilst using the charge point.

    The Parking Charge Notice was issued correctly as the driver has failed to follow the correct
    procedure on this occasion.

    Please note, no further parking charge notices will be cancelled for this vehicle.

    When parking on private land it is the responsibility of the driver to look for signage and to ensure that
    their vehicle is parked in accordance with the terms and conditions as stated.

    You are now fully advised of the procedure, and if followed, this will negate the issue of any further
    parking charge notices

    Out of pub opening hours users must text PARK 3824 with their full and correct vehicle...

    Surely this cannot be legal, not everyone  has a phone, and even if they do, not everyone knows how to text.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    I have no idea about the legality, but I think realistically if someone can charge an EV they can send a text. Generally a smartphone is required to use public EV chargers. I would have thought there could be some automation for BP Pulse to pass the registration to Euro Car Parks when a charge is started so none of that is needed.
