Hello, sadly I am coming to this forum a little late and wish I had read all the advice beforehand!

Hi All! So a ticket has come through from GBP Management LTD citing no valid permit even though there were no clearly displayed signs.

My gym moved sites, we've got a managed car park. I thought this would be a good thing because the blue badge bays at the last site were regularly full of people who didn't have blue badges.
