Anyone going to the Butts needs to be aware that car parking charges now apply even for short visits to ticket office or one of those lovely private companies will be slapping you with a £100 fine
Are you speaking from bad experience?
Are you after a job writing headlines for the Telegraph?

If this stops one person getting caught by these sh*sters, then it's worth the thread. Thanks G
I know there are probably signs up etc, but having been caught out previously by dubious signage, some of these operators annoy me.
Can only invoice you though can't they? You only have to pay council ones?
My impression was that the fine has to be proportionate to the supposed loss of earnings. If it’s 50p to park or £100 fine they’d get laughed back out the courts.
N.B. This does not constitute any kind of advice.
I heard that guy is Les ReidHave a look at this guy on twitter....
Hammering the Council for illegally issuing thousands of PCNs, assigning bailiffs etc... by the looks of it...(you will have to go back a few tweets) their signage is so wrong that people issued with notices can/should appeal... and technically the owe thousands in refunds if people do.
Tweet I have linked is related to council denying link with a PR company...
Sound familiar!!??
....worth looking at even if it might be different type of ticket... some might be able to go back and claim back from bus lane charges etc.....
And gives another insight into the workings of CCC

Basically our services cost more than we are prepared to pay - Health used to be 5% of GDP, now 18% and rising still. Govt has to find other ways of raising cash other than charges. One way or another if we want stuff we are going to have to pay. And please don't say efficiency savings. I think we should screw more out of premier league professional footballers personally - how about Wayne Rooney Estate, with Colleen Drive - and he pays for it.I'm absolutely sick of the blatant profiteering going on which is being perpetrated by local authorities and government. In the last 12 months I've had;
2 x parking fines when just dropping off (1 Cov hospital, 1 Liverpool Uni) - appeals in progress
2 x bus lane fines (1 Cov, 1 Manchester) - both successfully appealed
1 speeding - 33mph in a 30 zone in Rugby (admittedly my own fault)
1 fine for not paying road tax, despite a direct debit being in place - successfully appealed
1 toll road fine (successfully appealed) on the way to Liverpool
Just feels like they're trying to constantly catch you out!
I’m thinking that pretty much everyone of SonofErnie’s examples were private companies out to make a profit (because that’s what they do) and not one penny of those fines goes anywhere near the NHS.Basically our services cost more than we are prepared to pay - Health used to be 5% of GDP, now 18% and rising still.
