Help re: Parking Ticket
This evening I parked in my usual private car park to go to the gym/cinema etc. I parked in a bay with the works TAXI painted on the floor. I (and many other cars) have used these spaces on numerous occasions over the last 2 years since joining the gym. After returning and paying my parking fee, how annoyed was I to see that I had been issued with a �30/�60 parking picket! I discussed this with security and they stated that because this was a designated Taxi space (which is never used by taxis) I was parked in an unauthorized area. I have been parking in this car park for over two years, have parked in this space on numerous occasions in the past and never received a ticket. Although I am clearly aware that this space has Taxi marked on it, I was not aware that I would be fined for parking there and there is certainly no warning signs to confirm this. The Parking attendant confirmed that 'they were waiting for these to be printed!' Please advise me if it is worth challenging this parking fine out of sheer principle - I would not have parked there if they had displayed signs stating the consequences (I have also taken pictures to prove the lack of signs!) - Your help would be very much appreciated. Regards Lee.

To be honest i would just pay the 30 quid, and be thankful they havent clamped you and charged you four times that to have the clamp removed
I dont really think you have a leg to stand on as past immunity wont count for anything - they may not have had any operatives see you before
