EuroCarParks Parent & Child bay
Hello!
Wondering if anyone can help with regards to ECP at Cromwell Road Sainsburys in London.
Received a NTK in the post alleging the vehicle was parked in parent and child bay with no child.
No PCN was placed on the windscreen and the two photo's on the NTK are just of the vehicle parked in the bay.
There is no option to view any evidence on their website, simply pay or appeal?
Many thanks!

Without someone videoing arrival and alighting how on Earth can they prove there was no child?
I'm a random person on the internet. I hold no legal qualifications and nothing I say is advice.

I would imagine the pictures show there's no child in the car!
Maybe this is a new scam they're trying out. Parent and Child spaces can only be used if a minimum of one child is clearly displayed inside the car at all times.

Do you mean as the driver is exiting the car? There’s loads of cars using P&C spaces where once the exit is completed, and the P&C are in the store, where there’s no child in the car! Think about it!
Parent and Child spaces can only be used if a minimum of one child is clearly displayed inside the car at all times.
Says who? And how can a child be ‘clearly displayed at all times’ if the parent is inside Tesco doing the shopping? 🤦♂️
Social Services would be around in a flash!

I never imagined when typing that out that anyone would take it seriously....maybe I should have used the sarcasm font?

I got the joke!
If you go as if to appeal I'm pretty sure ECP show the evidence photos. Click the appeal button.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Check the terms and conditions on display. My local retail park has parent and child spaces but nowhere within the displayed T&C's does it mention them or that you must have a child with you to park in them.
Aslo the definition of "child" can mean anyone under the age of 18 so technically a parent and 17yr old could use these spaces….

I don't see how any possible evidence could exist.
A photo of an adult leaving a car or walking towards a car is not evidence of there being no child. I've parked with children before and left them in the library next door to return back home later with their mum. And vice versa.
It's like the 14 days time limit for the NtK to arrive. It's virtually impossible to prove lateness,
