Very good of the Hospice shop to put this notice up. Quite surprised Laura Ashley have never bothered to warn their customers though.

Why don't they add that you can ignore the fines and not worry about them?

Laura Ashley did have signs up. You can see the marks. I was told they were instructed to take them down by the landowners

Could that be an admission of underhandedness cam?

The signs in small priny 12 feet up the lamp posts in the roadway need the lewes treatment, they should be blacked up like a good smuggler

There is the word 'Private' on the road at the entrance to the parking area. It's quite an obvious clue that it is private property, and not a public car park. By entering the area and parking there, you are basically agreeing to the owners terms and conditions, same as if you parked in a public car park or supermarket car park. Would you park on anyone else's private property in the same manner, and expect no repercussion?
I fully expect to be shot down in flames here, but it is plain as anything it's a private car park.

It's obviously not that obvious or more people would see it.
And why do you suppose they make the signs on the wall so difficult to read?

There have been quite a few clamped cars there recently, it's only fair that they warn you first.

@Smudge ... It's NOT a private car park, because it's not a car park at all. Read the notice. There is no way that it is possible to buy a ticket that will give you permission to park there. The white lines painted on the road are obviously designed to give the impression that it might be a car park, but if you believe that, you have been misled. The message in the notice is that, if you haven't got a ticket to park (ie everyone) you will be sent a bill. These people are crooks and swindlers.

Bravo to the hospice shop. At least their notice is at an acceptable height and easily read. Even though it is not their responsibility. Shows the rip off merchants up doesn't it.

Why doesn't someone stake that area out, wait to see a car get clamped, follow the clamper back to where they emerge from, and post details of their bolt-hole on here so that someone unhinged can address the injustice that everyone seems to feel?
