Hi Folks
After some advice if you would please?
Went to play footbal the other night and Goals car park was full, decided it was a good idea to park up in the Retail Car Park opposite. Due to being slightly late and rushing i didnt really see/pay attention to any signage.
Came back from playing football 1 hr later to see a Privacy Notice on my windshield, four days later a PCN/NTK through my door.
I have since been back to the site to examine the signage more closely, indeed it does state that by parking and leaving the site you are committing an offence.
I was going to pay the fine as i did fall foul of the rules displayed but since i have been told that these are not enforcable and more of a scam.
Looking for decent advice from knowledgable people please, i dont mind paying but also dont want to fund part of whats wrong with this world.
