Hi All

So my wife went to go to this KFC, but once entered the car park , realised it was closed, stopped in the car park for 4 minutes while googling somewhere else, and then left.

Receieved the parking charge notice today.

Thing is, ive checked and the first sign you can see when entering the car park, is actually IN the car park, so how can you avoid a fine?!

I have photos and will try to upload them, but ive just checked google maps street view and can see that the sign has been damaged and so points in a different direction making it impossible to see until entering the car park.

this is the link to the steet view which shows the sign as it should have been, i.e. as it was in Apr 2022. (the 2 hour max stay sign on the pole just behind the 'kfc enter' sign on the ground)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZswLZttuYho3wMXH9

The sign is now approx 90 degrees to the left, so facing away from this view and in towards the road entrance.

do you think this is reason enough for a fine appeal to be upheld?


thanks in advance
