The Flame Pit / Re: ANPR barrier entry exit but charges shown ONLY inside car park

Update:
The car park operator (the Council) has said it has refunded the car park fee (£3) but in doing so managed to avoid accepting that there should have been a notification of the charges before the driver commits to going through the barrier, instead telling me that there is a fifteen minute grace period for free exit and I should have just left.

The Flame Pit / ANPR barrier entry exit but charges shown ONLY inside car park
« on: July 27, 2025, 08:59:16 pm »
I went to a Council-run car park today at a reservoir.  The approach road was littered with signs about no parking being allowed on the road or verges.  There were big signs about ANPR and paying on exit.  Signs saying how the ANPR worked and so on.  Despite all this there were no signs on the approach or outside the enclosed car park stating what the charges actually were.  Only after I had passed through the barrier and was absolutely committed to parking did I see any signs indicating the charges.  And there was no way out without paying.
I'm sure I read about this sort of thing some years ago and that the charges are quite improper.  Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
