Good Evening All,
The Keeper has received a letter today from Civil Enforcement
regarding an alleged overstay of free parking time at Horfield
Leisure Centre in Bristol.
Here on Google Maps:

Here is the letter:

The letter has an image of the front number plate, but instead
of the rear plate there is some sort of error with a URL
Printed...
The circumstances are that the driver is not a member of this
facility, but had popped in to ask some questions, as well as
visiting somewhere else locally. They also believe that they
left and re-entered the car park during the day at some point
but they don't know at exactly what times they entered/left.
The driver has contacted the facility directly (without
providing any vehicle details or names) and was told they must
appeal via Civil Enforcement and that they don't get involved.
In terms of signage, I'm unfortunately reliant on Google Street
view as I am not particularly local to the facility:

It appears to say that free parking is limited to 3 hours for
members. I'm not sure what their position is on people who
aren't members?
EDIT: Thanks to b789's response to another thread, I've also
discovered that the Leisure Centre is actually on land owned by
Bristol City Council!
