Euro Car Parks - Final notification letter - PCN - M&B Three
Hammers St Albans
DIR By: frustin

---------------------------------------------------------
The driver got a drink from the three hammer pub and used the
carpark at the back, purchase can be proved. My sister-in-law
(the registered keeper) received the PCN.
This letter is a final notification letter from Euro Car Parks.
The registered keeper informs me there was no other advance
letter.

The picture of the sign is mainly unreadable, but seems to refer
to a different sign anyway. Is there a requirement to enter the
car’s VRM in the pub, for example? Was this done, if so? What
does “purchase can be proved” mean? Purchase of a ticket to
park?
The original PCN can be obtained with a Subject Access Request
to Euro Car Parks if it’s important.

To address the points:
Sign unreadable but that's all that can be obtained.
No idea if the VRM had to be added since it was in May. I nor
the keeper live in that area to go and check
Purchase can be proved of the use of the pub
Original PCN - i dont know if it's important or not, i'm just
stating the facts as I understand them

there are 11 signs in the car park and 2 upon each entrance,
with a tablet to enter your car registration. also, as the signs
state co op customers have half an hour free.

took me a few seconds to find
So the driver parked for almost two hours without entering the
VRM on the tablet in the pub, which is a requirement that ECP
will claim is clearly required on its signs.
The original PCN may reveal a technical defence especially if
the driver has not been identified, but it may not.

The response to that review is promising, the pub management
seemed amenable to cancelling the charge for the reviewer. The
keeper would be wise to contact the pub.

Thanks so much. I've passed this onto the driver and they called
the pub and have cleared the pcn with euro there and then.
