I was looking for a parking space on the weekend and drove through the private car park I have a permit for and at the very far end were some more spaces behind a low wall. I went through the large gap in the wall and parked.
When I came back half an hour later I had an £85 ticket for parking in an unauthorised space as it was residents parking!
I searched for signs and there was one on the outside of an entrance at the other end of the resident's parking, in front of a tree, A4 size, 8 foot up and pointing outwards so I could never have seen it from my car. There was no other sign (and I searched!) and I didn't use this exit with the car or on foot.
Can they enforce this even though there was nothing to show me it was private parking?
