Disabled bay parking. In the snow!
stickybloke replied to stickybloke's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
Yes, sorry. The ticket was issued by Town and City Parking Ltd - no mention of the council etc on it. -
I recently parked in a car park I regularly use whilst I popped in to town to get a haircut. The car park was half empty and the bay markings all obscured by compacted snow and ice. I pulled into the bay and noticed a sign about 2 bays down that mentioned disabled parking. It looked like it referred to the bay that it was aligned with; there was no such sign in my bay. When I returned to the car 30 mins later I found a ticket stuck on the window informing me of a £60 fine for parking in a disabled bay. I then noticed that the attendant had taken the effort to clear the snow that had been obscuring the bay markings under the back of my car (land rover). I consider myself to be fairly observant (late thirties, professional pilot). I would never knowingly park in a disabled bay (my father has a disabled badge as did my sister) especially when there were plenty of other spaces, including ones nearer the shops. There was nothing that indicated the bay was a disabled one as the road was covered in compacted snow. If the company were that concerned about the disabled bay should they not have cleared the markings to warn people rather than wait until they'd parked there? Do I pay this or do I write a snot-o-gram to the company. Ultimately I was in the wrong as I parked in a disabled bay. Are the company not however being a bit underhand in revealing the status of the bay only after I had parked in it? This is more a matter of principle to be honest, not the money....
