• Volvo - Parking fine from TPS 16 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I didnt buy anything as I was browsing for curtains but havent got the authority to make such purchases without the "Senior Manager" with me... When I returned, I have been issued with a parking fine.  The reason is that "The driver was observed leaving site whilst the vehicle remained parked on the premises". Where do I stand? I am 50:50 on paying the £50 fine, which increases to £70 if not paid within 4 days or refusing on the basis that the sign does not say I must not leave the retail site?

• Watchdog Tonight - Parking Fines/Fees 28 Feb 2006 (Forum)
