Yesterday I had to attend two appointments at Worcester hospital for treatment. I parked in a Disabled bay on the hospital grounds and displayed my blue badge. On my return about 1 1/2 hours later there was an envelope / bag stuck on my window. The envelope was yellow with "Penalty Charge Notice" written on it.
On opening the envelope / bag it contained a "warning notice". It was headed "Civil Parking Notice" and went on to say the following;
Notice of breach of parking conditions at Worcestershire Acute hospital issued by Car Parking Partnership. Goes on to state that it was issued by Civil Enforcement officer WAH01 and has reason Code WO1 "Parked without clearly displaying the required permit or pay and display ticket. This is a warning and no payment due."
None of the signs around the hospital indicate that the NHS, the Car Parking Partnership etc are linked to the local council. Surely if this ticket was issued by the Car Parking Partnership it would be unenforceable? Isn't it a bit naughty sticking it in a bag marked "Penalty Charge Notice".
I have no choice, but to attend these appointments otherwise I would be crippled up with constant pain and I was invited by the NHS onto their land.
Any thoughts on this matter for future reference?
