Yes, term change quite significant. Essentially: ‘don’t park in these particular spaces’. However, it is not made clear exactly which spaces it is referring to (it just places them near a section, which happens to be where I have been parking for years).

The signage is poor and unlit, especially for the dark mornings we have been having. Give me about an hour and I will drive over and get the signage.

Evidential photos of what, to be exact?

I’ve appealed four and no doubt they’ll all be rejected. 2 have already. By my estimates, I have 5 more to come.

The Google Maps is old and is not reflective of how the gym looks now.

Half the gym in the Google maps has turned into offices. The red lines are where the signs have been placed and where I park - and have been parking for years.

The restricted parking sign no longer exists and I have never seen it in person.

Thank you, truly, for your advice.

While I have been to small claims court before (and won), this is a very daunting aspect. However, I am actually due to be moving country in 6 months time. Will a court case be solved by then?! At the end of the day, EPS have 8k definition pictures of me.

I definitely do plan to contact the company (Jardines) tomorrow. Although, I am bracing for a clear cut ‘nothing we can do’. Do they have power to cancel the PCN? Who do I need to speak to?

My gym are useless regarding this. All they say is ‘we have put up signs saying which ones are JD parking and which ones aren’t’, which, in their defense they have but it is at the entrance and looks completely the same as before. Seemed like they were just reasserting the rules rather than making it clear that rules had changed.

I’ll get signage images later today!

Enterance to the gym and red lines indicate where the signs are. I do not recall when exactly the signs were put up, but I very much doubt it has been 4 months.

Note: Google Maps images is 5 years old. Parking sign in attached images are no longer there. I may make the drive there today and show you all rather than waiting until I inevitably go tomorrow morning.

This is really interesting! There is absolutely no sign upon the enterance. The sign is only near the parking space. There are also two signs (the same) next to each other.

It also does not clearly state which spaces it means.

Let me try and find a Google Maps image to demonstrate where the new signs are.

From the PCN, it seems as if the other signs are near the enterances of the office…to which are on the other side of the building.

Further, this may be noteworthy, bollards were erected a few months ago but there was only one day that they were ever up.

In addition, there are numerous gym members I have been trying to warn about this. We’ve been getting numerous PCNs all at once.

Makes sense, thanks.

I assume there is no retribution for the fact that the PCNs were issued 1 week after each contravention and therefore allowed the driver to accumulate fines?

The driver is looking at around 10 PCNs in total coming to £600.

Perhaps a needed note: the company in which the driver allegedly incorrectly parked there, does not open until 9am meaning that the numberplate is unable to be registered at the kiosk.

The driver arrives around 6:10am and leaves around 8am each day.

I can provide an image of the sign I park near tomorrow, but this is what they 'took a picture of' and uploaded to the online PCN. I think this is similar to the sign I park near, but can't confirm exactly. The sign is quite high up on a post, too.

Right?! For all 5 PCNs, two images are provided with some sort of 10-14 min gap. No idea why.

Hi. Here is the PCN https://imgur.com/a/62TRRmA
 Wording is the same
I have appealed 4 out of the 5

My argument was unclear signage (font is incredibly small and I go during dark mornings).

The new office does not open until 9am and I leave gym around 8am, so no disturbance to them.

The images they provide are of signs I absolutely have not seen before.

Private parking tickets / Five PCNs - parked outside my gym.

Hi all,

I’ve been issued 5 PCNs from Euro Parking Services.

I go to my gym 5 mornings a week and usually park in an area right next to my gym.

In the 3 years I’ve been at my gym, the building next to my gym has never been in use. Early in Feb, I think I saw a sign stating something about registering your number plate at a Kiosk in the office. Going to the gym in the mornings means that it is very dark and as the font is SO small on the sign, I didn’t read it in depth.

I’ve now accumulated 5 different parking tickets for where I have been parking (I’ve been parking in that space for years!). It is seemingly now owned by offices in that building.

The first ‘contravention’ was on 26/2/24 but it wasn’t registered or posted until 7/3/24. If I had received the letters promptly, I would have stopped parking there.

The latest fine has been from 6th March (issued on 12th and posted on 12th), and I’m sure I’ve parked there a lot more since then, so more fines to come…

I’ve appealed the signage, to which they rejected. They said I can complain, simply said ‘go to our website’ where are digging and digging, I found an address but that’s their only method of complaint. That or an 0845 number…not even an email.

Anything I can do?
