Parkingeye PCN - Overstay - Home Bargains Wey Retail Park, Byfleet (Pure Gym use)
« on: »
Received the below PCN from Parkingeye for using the Pure Gym in Byfleet on 11th January 2026.

The driver has been using the PureGym in this retail park for over 2 years, always parking in the same place, and this is the first time they've received a PCN. It was on a Sunday morning and they regularly attend at this sort of time. They have never needed to validate the registration plate in the gym as parking has always been free, as per the gym staff's instructions.

The PureGym app shows their gym activity history, and concurs that they were in the gym between the times shown on the PCN.

The alleged contravention is that they overstayed the carpark's max time limit of 0 hours and 0 minutes, which presumably is because it's an 'out of hours' time on a weekend morning?

Photos of the carpark signage will be provided this weekend on Sunday upon the next visit.

Many thanks for any help / advice in advance.

Update your post so that the driver is identified only in the third person.

You need to get pictures of the signs at the site - GSV is well out of date.  It looks like there might be a no stay out of hours condition; but if this has changed, or there is now a requirement to register at the gym, then there should be clear signs to detail the change.

Here is a photo of the sign in the car park:



On thing to note on the sign - it says "registrations need to be validated outside of store opening times." PureGym Byfleet is a 24 hour gym so it's effectively always open. Does that, by the letter of the sign, exempt the parker from the need to validate their ticket if using the always-open gym?


The parking policy has been changed recently. Previously there was no need to ever validate a registration number at any time of any day.

On PureGym's website they now include this caveat:


When visiting outside of the following hours, please validate your parking using the QR code in the entrance to the club:



Monday-Saturday: 8am - 10pm

Sunday: 10:30am - 4:30pm.

However using WaybackMachine to look at the website in October 2025, that bit of text was not present. So the parking policy has changed but it wasn't relayed to the gym user / parker.

This has been challenged with PureGym directly and they accept no liability other than to direct towards the PCN appeal process with ParkingEye, and to use data from the App to show the gym session at the time of the parking.

Any suggestions?
Many thanks
