Do premier park have a legal right to charge as they are not working for a council?

[Wrighty99]

We parked outside my sons university in Southampton to drop his belongings off and we received a parking charge notice of £60 for being there 23 minutes. If they don't work for a local authority then surely we don't have to pay?

If you were parking on private land and if they were contracted to control the parking then yes they can issue a parking charge notice. Whether you pay it or not is up to you but you will be appealing against the charge

Do not identify who was driving. Post up a copy of the notice you received, with identifying details removed. Presumably this was a notice in the post and there was not anything on the windscreen, When did you receive this notice and when was the date of the "Offence"?

Keeper liability is given by Premier Park complying with POFA. Have a read here.
