Are there photos of anything else that are needed before I can get advice please ?

Most of the unposted photos are more of the same that I have already posted

I've had trouble uploading some of the photos, but this is of the exit, no signs at all

I took a look at the car park. There is one sign at the entrance as you drive in, and there are three machines with signage detailing that you have to pay on exit.

I retraced my route back to my car and leaving the car park. This would be an extremely common route back from the football ground.

There are no signs on this route other than a couple which just say you can't park along the edge of the car park (there are also double yellow lines here). You do not pass any machines, none are even close, there is no signage reminding you to pay, not even at the exit.

Here is the full notice. From my research it seems that Euro Car Parks ran it last year, the change that occurred during the summer was that you could no longer use the pay by phone app, and you could no longer pay as you parked.

I am going down there this afternoon to look at what signage there is between where I parked and the exit. The area was very busy at the time of departure due to a dispersing football crowd, so there were lots of distractions when driving out.

The driver entered the car park, one that he has used around 30 times a year for several years. In previous years the car park was run as one where you paid on entry, but this changed over the summer to one that you had to pay on exit having been taken over by Euro car parks.

He had parked there three times since and paid with no issue, however on this occasion he simply forgot to pay on returning to my car. There are no barriers that you have to go through to exit the car park, therefore this is very easy to do.

He realised his mistake the next day and attempted to pay for the parking via the app with no success. The app told me to contact customer services which he did by sending an email through their website explaining the mistake and offering to pay. He received an email a few days later stating that they do not accept retrospective payment, and today received the parking charge notice through the post.

He does not recall any signage between where he was parked and the exit.

What is the best approach to appealing this ?
