Hopefully they’ll sort out the website. I felt I was back in the 90s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps should be prioritizing spending more on desks over additional salaries. How on earth are you going to fit the successful applicant onto that desk? It’s overcrowded as it is. Maybe invest in some chairs as well. Edited June 26, 2022 by The Voice of Reason Last para 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say the prom looked really shabby already. Trying to find a parking spot was a challenge and when I finally found one opposite the Jubilee clock, you walk to one end to pay and theres a big sign over the machine saying pay at the other machine right over the other side. Get there and then it says 'You have 4 mins to leave the carpark.' Alright calm down machine! Overall just a shitty experience using stuff that looked eastern bloc. Place looks tired and devoid of any soul. Shame really. Apparently the old bus station car park is still open with no payment as all payment machines back in one by steam packet so use that or sea terminal for quick visits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone leaving their car there, no matter for how short a time, is at risk of action from the owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but as far as I know no warning signs up & I don’t think they’re allowed to operate as paid parking under agreement with IOMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I don't know if they ever got permission to operate non-contract parking, though it wouldn't surprise me if it had been part of a deal. But the lack of warning signs doesn't mean that people are entitled to park there for free (or at all) - any more than would be to park on your lawn if you hadn't put a No Parking sign up.

Probably not but not sure what you'd be guilty off and would it stand up legally if they tried to ticket you etc with no warning signs up or payment infomation.

You wouldn't be 'guilty' of anything, but the owners would be entitled to issue you with an invoice for a charge which they could then sue you for if you didn't pay. I'm not sure there even a need for there to be a notice, though it would help their case if there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also not cordoned off and signs up to warn parkers that they could be fined. I'm pretty sure without the above notices its wide open for a successful challenge .

Not really, though there might be challenge over the amount that was charged. But even assuming there are no notices (and they're notorious for being less obvious on private sites), you can't just park anywhere you want on private land if there's nothing there to forbid you. Even apart from the fact that it's been a paid car park till earlier this month. The current lack of enforcement is mainly suggestive of the lack of dynamism of the present owners (which is why it should probably come back into public ownership) but there's no guarantee that such tolerance will continue.

Kopek Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 If you abuse the opportunity to park there for your own convenience and then they fence it off so that no one can park there. Is that a win win or win lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a win win or win lose? They won’t do that. It’s all moved to contract parking as Bradley seems to have done some sort of deal with the DOI that looks slightly less like he is absolutely taking the piss out of them by paying nothing for a developer lease and then re-selling public car parking on the exact same plot. So he’s still re selling parking but only to corporates for private parking. Whoever signed that deal at the DOI must be either mentally retarded or totally corrupt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming they are leaving it open to piss off government by reducing parking income at their sites for some reason connected to their refusal to allow paid parking on the site until development starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
