unjust parking fines

I wonder if this would be a subject of some importance. (this was forwarded onto spotlight)

Myself and younger grandson are wild swimmer we often use Trevone beach.

The reason for this is my husbands family have lived there for at least 5 generations.

Its where we met and has always had a special place in the hearts of the whole family.

We were very surprised this year to see pay as you park scheme and even more so a camera was installed.

We always go and put our money in the meter for an hour then we swim go and home to Padstow.

During August we had family down and went to the beach mainly late afternoon/evening.

To swim, play cricket and take part in good old family activities.

This week we have had 4 parking tickets. One saying we were 2 minutes past the parking time. Another saying less than 5!!

My nephew who was down staying with us had 2 today.

I am not alone there are very many angry people here and I would say so for the visitors too.

One person drove in, drove around couldn’t find a space so left and unbelievably she received a fine.

Trevone is a wonderful family beach. I have been going there for 60 years as I say my husbands family have been there for generations.

There is no parking anywhere except the car parks.

My objection is that we have all paid to park maybe overstayed our allotted time by the smallest time but that should be enough.

This is greed anyway you look at it.

People have had a great day on the beach. Maybe staying to watch the sun go down

Swim, play a game of rounders, we have on occasions added extra time too our cars, has this been taken into account or even checked?

The letter is very threatening from AP alliance Parking and there is no way of getting in touch with them.

“Pay up or we will send in the bailiffs.”

I really wonder if the owners of this car park will release the animosity that there choice to go down this route has caused.

I really hope you investigate this,

Kindest regards,
