Should I pay Premier Park??

[unhappyparker86]

Hi looking for some advice. While on a family holiday back in April, in Devon I stopped in what I believed to be a small pay and display car park late one evening. I believed it to be too late to pay for parking. I did check the signs but they were not clear. I stopped for 20mins to get some chips. I received a parking charge notice in the post a short time later. The notice does not state why they have issued it, just that I stayed in the car park for 20mins (and photos of my car entering/exiting). I know the difference between a parking charge notice and penalty charge notice and was unsure to even appeal, but I did. I appealed on the grounds the signage was not clear. I asked for evidence they had of the signage (as I live in London and cannot check) and why they had issued the fine. I have received a response stating they have declined my appeal but not why there are fining me or there signage?

What's the best course of action? Is POPLA worth a go?

POPLA is worth a go but need something to work on, like the signs, notice to keeper. Provide a link to the google maps location and we can all have a look, hopefully and post up the NTK with identifying details removed.

Thank you for responding, the car park is braunton village centre car park. But the Google maps appears to be an old pic. I don't remember the barriers?

I will post the parking charge notice shortly

Any chance of a picture that doesn't have a few words missing from the edges ?
