Thanks.
I have now seen in another forum that this carpark didnt have a current landowner authorisation in 2024. If I want to try use this, do I send this in at this stage?
Is there a template to send, or should I just send something along the lines you wrote.

No contract was entered into.
You left after a short consideration period where payment was not possible.
Make an appeal to PE as vehicle keeper.
Do not disclose who was driving.
So the appeal would read, "I understand that the driver attempted to make payment but neither machine was working - after a number of attempts the driver decided to leave and therefore no contract was formed - as such, no contract could have been breached."

Hi
Our vehicle entered the carpark Margate Lido.
Map image below:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/e3wPbuWs2rvhT4168 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/e3wPbuWs2rvhT4168)
The driver parked up and spent few minutes unloading for beach day, and then attempts were made to pay for the parking. All in was 10 minutes.
There were 2 parking machines. One is old and was not working at all (one on the left). The one that was working (centre of the image), was not working with the card, not touch nor when physically entering the card. Numerous attempts were made.
Only remaining option was to pay by app. Driver did not have a phone capable of this so the driver left the carpark.
Unfortunately no photos were taken of card not working- it was assumed that this was an in and out and not possibly chargeable.
Now received below in the post for 10 minutes in the carpark.
Any advice would be appreciated.
