Hi, I have received a PCN from Premier Park for parking in Exeter Road Car Park in Braunton, Devon.
I entered the car park at 20.41 and it was nearly dark.
I did not realise that payment was required at this time as the notices were not clear or lit up!
The fine is £60 if paid by 14 days from issue date or £100 afterwards - it is now after the 14 days.
I have googled around and this car park seems to have a history of this issue.
From what I have read, Premier Park provides images in daylight or with a strong flash to 'prove' that they have enough lighting.
I cannot provide this evidence, but even in the images that they have provided on the PCN form shows how dark it is.
Could you provide me with any advice for a potential defence.
I have appealed to Premier Park but it had been turned down. I can go to POPLA but have not done this yet. The charge has gone up to £100 and was hey say will go up again!
Any advice is appreciated.
