will need to find out the company that is the managing agent for the retail park. Often you can find this information on the big advertising plinth that lists all the stores.
THe person you spoke with at the enquiries is just an idiot if they are telling you that they have 'no influence' over the parking operator. Ask them who is the Monkey and who is the Organ Grinder in their contractual relationship?

Thanks for the reply. I have contacted Teesside Park enquiries and they state that they have no influence over any decision as they do not manage the parking, even though they have appointed the parking company to enforce it. I will look to contact the individual stores to see if that makes any difference.

The signs on site are Minster Baywatch. Have you approached the retailer where you spent your money and asked them to intervene and get their landlord, who is the likely contractor for the parking operator, to get it cancelled. This is know as Plan A.
If they won't or can't help, then seek out the managing agent for the retail park and contact them and get them to cancel the charge with their agent. Complain to the retailer and have them escalate that up to the managing agent if necessary. Threaten to return the goods and go elsewhere to make the same purchase, explaining that you don't expect to be invoiced by a third party for the privilege of being a customer.

If you can get photos of the signage on site, as there can be an issue with Minster Baywatch and the signs mentioning Bransby Wilson.

3. Post the notice(s) you have received – as well as providing important context, the notices may contain/omit details that can be used to help you successfully fight the charge. Upload photos of any and all notices you have received from the parking company. You should show us all pages of the notice(s), remove personal details (name/address, PCN reference number, Vehicle Registration Mark), but show us all dates and times. Details that you think are trivial could help you win, so don’t leave anything out.

Received from Minster Baywatch as the registered keeper. The car park is in Teesside Park where maximum period is 4 hrs. This is in a shopping and leisure area. Occupants spent several hundred pounds whilst in stores and food outlets with receipts to prove.
Does the notice comply? I haven't had the opportunity to check the signage, I believe it was installed at some point last year.
The parking limit of 4hrs was exceeded by approximately 45mins so not within any grace period.
