NPC - not parking wholly within a parked bay

Hello
The local gym has recently given NPC the responsibility of
controlling the car park.
The driver (family member) has told me that there was limited
parking and they had to enter the parking space on an awkward
angle because of the positioning of the the 2 cars parked
alongside the space. Without entering the space as such they
wouldn't have been able to park.
please can someone help?

Before we get onto anything else, have you spoken to the gym
management yet? If not, as the ones who seemingly contracted the
parking company to manage the car park on their behalf, this
would be a wise first step.

I have had a similar one before and they said they are reluctant
to 'sort' them for people any more as they are paying the fines
themselves so I have to address the matter with the parking firm
myself. Do you think what I have been told is correct or it is a
simple matter of them cancelling it themselves.

The short answer is 'don't know' - without seeing the terms of
the gym's agreement with NPC. Some of them do have rather
unusual clauses in them that rather seem like the tail wagging
the dog. Trying costs you nothing, though, and the prospect of
them losing a loyal customer over the matter might sway them
(even more so if other family members are alos members who will
also find an alternative gym if they don't cancel the charge,
for example).

1/ They are invoices, only a court can fine you (since the Magna
Carta), even the police, councils, other statutory bodies can
only issue penalties.
2/ Tough, they entered a contract, of their own volition, they
put themselves in that position by not doing their due diligence
before signing it, lean on them and make a credible threat to
move if they don't sort it out (1-2 months of lost membership
would cover the invoice). Their bed, they have to lie in it -
and if they lie with dogs they will catch the fleas. Enough get
annoyed they may bin off these parasites.
