So got a wide view of the entrance





And photos of the sign  (the car park is the exit directly across from the roundabout). It's not really legible from a car since its mounted too high up and by the time you get close enough to read the roof will be in your way and you're going to be paying attention to the roundabout anyway.

But I have posted a picture of the entrance to the car park already???



This is the entrance. I missed the kerb on the other side of the exit barrier but that's it.

Fiddly to reply as I'm on the phone

1. I've not redacted the date but this is the full site name



2. The photos I've attached are my own from the specific carpark. Do you mean the specific space the car was parked in? There isn't any other signage present.

3. The permit is linked to the staff ID badge which is swiped to gain access. There isn't a physical permit.

To apply for a permit staff have to sign this



4. I couldn't find a specific parking terms document, but there is this guidance on the intranet



Digging deeper these are the relevant paras from the Parking Operations and Parking Policy documents.





5. The pre-bookable Parking bays are apparently defunct and the parking people have been asking staff to just park in them.

Nope. The car park is barrier controlled and AFAIK there has never really been any enforcement per se.

This was received in a barrier access controlled (via staff ID) car park at a hospital.

There was no signage regarding enforcement on the site. The only signage present refers to a set of reserved bays which was on the other side of the lot. Those signs do not state the penalty or the enforcing company.

Are the grounds to contest this based on total lack of signage?  On top of that the car park is charge on entry - so if the gate is triggered a charge is paid even if there is no lot available - no grace period is offered.
