Pretty outrageous: Even though you can't safely drive in or out of the maltings carpark, due to the inability of ESCC to put grit in castle banks / castle precincts, I've just discovered that that carpark is being charged today.
If you get a ticket take a phone photo of the road leading to that carpark and appeal.

If you can park there then why should you not pay? If its not safe to drive on the road then don't drive on it. lets use a little common sense people please.

...err...because if you're someone who parked there on Friday, but it then iced over, and don't want to risk your car, you've had to pay ESCC parking fees, in an ESCC car park for 2-3 days, but you can't drive away because ESCC won't grit the road to a point where a car can be driven safely.

Well you didn't say you were already in the car park, the best thing for you to do is pay for the parking take as many pictures as you can and then write to ESCC and ask for a refund.

Well William, he did say that you can't drive in or out of it, so the only cars affected would have to have been already in it. Thank you !

or you could tell ESCC that they are engaged in maladministration and that you won't be wasting your time filling in claim forms, when ESCC Highways are so incompetent.

Yes he did say you can only drive in or out, but he didn't actually say that his car was there, he could just have been a pedestrian letting people know about this.

Actually, he didn't say you can only drive in and out, he said the opposite in fact ie. you can't drive in or out. How many pedestrians do you know that check when people have parked in any given car park, what the subsequent driving conditions are, whether charges apply 2 days later, and then report it on here ? Happy Christmas !
