mikeroyboy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just received parking notice for Tuesday evening 19th February, Morecambe match. Has anyone else had one? Paid £3 as usual to guy on Westhume Avenue and followed stewards directions down to the bottom end of car park. Leaving ticket on dashboard. All as normal. Parking ticket only states time of arrival/departure and being an unorthorised vehicle. I only hope this is a technical error and not a none payment of the clubs agreement with the hospital.

Not had one, but I will keep my eye out. Considering the amount of illegal parking that goes on round the ground of late to be sent a ticket by the hospital after paying the correct fees etc is a bit of piss take. Unless you queue jumped and went through the no entry sign... I think the standard advice is that when it’s a non-Council ticket you don’t pay it. But our resident parking expert may be along to advise further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system is swiched off on match days but had been overlooked on the last occasion. Probably a repeat malfunction. She is emailing me contact details of someone at the hospital who will then, hopefully sort it out. Yes, I’m aware of the parking idiosyncrasies of private parking companies but not perhaps up to date. Unlike a police or council parking notice, this notice does not place me under a legal obligation to ‘disclose the drivers details’. It it is however looking as though it may not be necessary thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 barry.waterhouse@pat.nhs.uk Email this guy. I had the same issue last season. Someone from this forum gave me this email address, I got a letter cancelling the fine in less than a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thanks folks. Just found email from club with Barry Waterhouse’s details. Can relax and concentrate on game now. I have been down the ‘ignore’ route before and it worked. But I’m getting too old for receiving threatening letters and court action - especially when I’m inoccent. I hope no one actually pays this parking notice without questioning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Yeah Barry is the one to contact, he'll sort it. As has been said, they've probably forgot to switch the ANPR camera off. ** Thinking about it, the hospital parking office had been shut (due to sickness I think) so this is probably why.

I got a fine first match this season for parking on B&Q. Ignored it as i don't think its enforcable and not heard anything for 2 months. If they take me to civil court im going to fight it. Plenty of information how to online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is sometimes a guy patrolling, unless u make it really obvious you won’t get a ticket. I park then walk towards b and q, then just turn back on myself. That’s being ultra unnecessary careful. I don’t think they could prove if u used b and q or not, so hard to enforce the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have had a positive feedback from Barry Waterhouse at Oldham NHS. All tickets in the appropriate date and time zone will be cancelled. Any penalties paid will be refunded. For me the most positive part of the outcome is refunding anyone who has already paid the penalty. Apparently it it is the club who failed to notify them of the fixture. Full marks to Bazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozza47 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just been on the ce-service website to appeal, entered my details and it does say that it has been cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
