Private parking tickets / Parking charge notice - euro car parks
« on: June 24, 2025, 03:23:25 pm »
Hi there,
A few days ago, I returned from a couple of weeks away and found a Parking Charge Notice from Euro Car Parks waiting for me. The charge relates to an occasion where I parked for just over three hours, even though the limit is two. According to the notice, today is the deadline to pay the reduced £60 charge.
I haven’t contacted them yet, as they state that appealing will remove the option to pay the lower amount. However, I find these kinds of restrictions quite unreasonable—it's often difficult to complete everything you intend to do (shopping, grabbing a bite to eat) within just two hours.
Given this, I’m wondering: do I actually need to pay this at all? The whole thing feels a bit shady, and I know private parking enforcement operates differently to council-issued fines.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
