Lets hope so

I'm frightened to inform the outcome Well,I haven't heard a thing, I'd like to think they realised that the fact the car park was so slippy it was an accident waiting to happen (after all they did grit it the following day). The barrier has been fixed, the damage wasn't as bad as it looked at the time as it was one of those health and safety barriers that bend on impact - thats why my car wasn't damaged and I wasn't injured.) So...there's the out come - sorry Mossy! (No offence taken ) Hope you all had a great new year! x

Flippin heck.. I thought I'd add... I've heard nothing from them...also, the day after my skating accident they gritted the exit!!!! Hmmm they possible should have done this in the first place?! Also it was def ice not diesel .... Another point, if I didn't attempt to leave the car park I would have been there all night, its in a not so nice area, I wouldn't choose to sit there in the dark. As I also pointed out the exit goes down hill, i literally rolled over the top with my foot on the break...it just didn't stop. I can assure you I was not driving fast - infact I could walk quicker

Thanks...I'm a good driver..honest! I wouldn't choose for my brand new car to slide through a barrier...I wouldn't mind but I'd paid for the bloomin ticket I only needed to put it in the machine!! Anyways I'm taking Al's advice..I'll wait for them to contact me .. Thanks

I'm actually female .... To be fair there are many things that happen in life that are unfair... I'm not quite sure how I could have avoided what happened though as it was beyond my control...maybe I should have just sat in the car all night and waited?! One of my collegues left much earlier than me on the same day and apparently nearly did the same thing...it was just colder when I left. I just believe that they provide me with a service of which I pay for, therefore it isn't unreasonable to expect safety? I'm sure I'm not the 1st to do this and probably won't be the last. Hey ho... such is life!

Thanks for all your replys! There was nosign in place and in fairness no damage to my car... I'm just a little concerned that they may want to charge me for damage to the barrier?! On another note, I pay £5 per day to park...5 days per week ... Add it up.... There's a fair few cars on this car park, surely they can afford a little grit to make it safe!!! Anyways...on a happy note, I wish you all a merry christmas! Drive safely!!!

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I parked in a NCP carpark in Manchester, obviously the weather has been terrible today. I left work at 18:30 today, when I got to the carpark it was more or less empty. I paid for my ticket, as I approached the ticket barrier and applied my foot to the break, my car wouldn't stop.... I ended up going through the barrier! I wasn't able to wait around as I had to collect my young son and was already late. I called NCP on the way home (handsfree) I didn't want them to think I was just driving off. They said I have to call back tomorrow as I need to fill an incident form out. (They have CCTV) The carpark was so icy, since the snow yesterday they have not gritted it therefore it is leathel! Obviously by the time I left most had gone home and the tracks other cars had left had turned into a skating rink! (The approach to the barrier is also slightly down hill which didn't help!) I'm just wondering if I am liable for this? Anyhelp would be appreciated! Many Thanks
