alchresearch   206 #337 Posted April 23, 2009 If you went into Sheffield city centre to do some shopping and couldn't find anywhere to park would you go home or just leave your car anywhere? It's the same here.  It's not Centertainment's car park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BananaSplit   10 #338 Posted April 23, 2009 There's another thread about this on here.  Upshot is, don't pay it. It's a none-enforceable invoice.  There's also a website that makes for good reading: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?act=idx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Chloe091   10 #340 Posted May 27, 2009 I've just got a letter through this morning from G24 who own meadowhall retail park car park saying i was parked there for 196mins on 19th may and u can only park there free for 180mins. Charge is £50 within 28days or £25 within 14days...doesn't say anything about if you don't pay though :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dean23 Â Â 10 #341 Posted May 27, 2009 I can also confirm there is a 'small' sign just as you enter the car park. It is not noticeable, nor is it any bigger than a postage stamp. I hope your friend is contesting the fine!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mightysimo   10 #342 Posted May 27, 2009 i got fined £25 for being over the apparent 3 hour parking rule by 13 mins...couldn't see no sign stating this. I went to macdonalds and then to cinema on a sunday. The car park was empty. They provided the evidence of a picture taken when I entered and left. I have paid the fine no questions asked but I am NEVER going to shop at the retail park in my life.  However I still go to centertainment (the only reason I parked in the retail park was because i wanted to go to macdonalds!)  In the future I might dispute any I get. Could this be the same for meadowhall who threaten to clamp you for parking for 'none shopping' reasons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Solomon1   10 #343 Posted May 27, 2009 i have and i didn't pay it - grrrrrr  getting fined for parking over 3 hours in an empty car park at 11pm after all the shops are shut?  just plain greed  if they don't want people to park there  simple - just close the barricades  and if they don't want people to park there over 3 hours  again, simple - put a LARGE SIGN IN RED LETTERS AT THE ENTRANCE and several more throughout the park...  as it stands, the notices are NOT obvious, especially at night time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   206 #344 Posted May 27, 2009 I would have thought that it's pretty clear that the retail park and Centertainment are two separate leisure facillities.  Do people park in the arena car park and have the same problem?

pem123 Â Â 10 #345 Posted May 27, 2009 Don't pay until you've sought advice. These are not the same as council-issued tickets. They rely on contract law! Â Visit http://www.pepipoo.com for advice. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
