Hi everyone, just one minor point. The charge was issued for parking in Heslington near the Uni run by Minster Baywatch and the car park he's talking about is on the opposite of the city and run by a different car park operator (ARDPark). Tower Court and Heslington are a good few miles apart.
Heslington Retail Park - York - YO10 5LA - where he got the charge and Tower Court Health Centre, Oakdale Rd, York YO30 4RZ.
So if you were exempted at Tower Court and got a charge at Heslington - they are totally unrelated.
