js2012 Â Â 10 #1 Posted November 19, 2010 I got a 'fine' for apparently over staying my parking time at meadowhall retail park through the post today. They got me photo'd going in at 8.45 am and leaving at 6 05 pm last week. If they think they have a chance in hell of seeing a single penny from me all i have to say is Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha and so on. anyone else got a 'fine' for parking there? DONT pay it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jason Bourne   11 #7 Posted November 19, 2010 Why not? - I thought the law on clamping was about to change? A complaint might be surprisingly effective.  So... how will Meadowhell shopping centre deal with those who park illegally in the disabled bays?  A polite but firm letter addressed to the persons residence, perhaps?  x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeadingNorth   11 #8 Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) So... how will Meadowhell shopping centre deal with those who park illegally in the disabled bays?   Public opinion right now - and the law seemingly will change to reflect it - is that I have a right to park on your land whether you want me to or not.  I wonder if the "public opinion" would change, if it was the public's own driveways that were being parked on.
