       Gemini Parking Solutions - Failure to Pay - Nuffield Health Park
       side Hospital 
       By: Keeper Date: February 4, 2026, 5:55 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Had this one come through and hoped the good folks here could
       help me as the keeper of the vehicle.
       The driver had a self-paying appointment at Nuffield Health
       Parkside hospital. The driver had been there in the past and
       enjoyed free parking and received no fine.
       The drive attended their appointment and left and then returned
       some days later for a follow-up.
       I then received the following notice as the keeper

       Upon checking the hospital website
  HTML https://www.nuffieldhealth.com/hospitals/parkside/about-parkside-hospital/parking-at-parkside-hospital<br
       />it states:
       [quote]There is no charge for private or self-paying patients.
       NHS patients and all hospital visitors are required to pay the
       following parking fees:
       [fees]
       How do I pay for parking?
       The hospital’s camera-controlled car parking system requires all
       visitors to enter their vehicle's registration number. Those who
       have to pay the charge will need to download the APCOA Connect
       app to make payment. The charging period for the car park is 24
       hours a day including weekends and bank holidays.
       [/quote]
       What should I do now? I'm out of the country so I can't go and
       check the signage but the driver did not notice it on their
       visit (although they were going to somewhere they'd been many
       times before and may not have been looking for signs).
       Many thanks as always!

       Plan A is to approach the hospital and get them to cancel it.

       Happy to try this although I note that their website states:
       [quote]Parking charge notices are generated and issued to those
       who have parked without making payment for the time they have
       been parked on site. In the event you incorrectly enter your
       vehicle registration number, this may also result in a ticket.
       Should you receive a parking charge you feel is unwarranted or
       issued in error please appeal. The appeals process is with APCOA
       Connect and NOT the hospital.
       If you have your ticket or proof of payment then your penalty
       charge notice will be cancelled.[/quote]
       What should the driver approach the hospital with? "So sorry,
       didn't know, mea culpa, here's proof of my appointments?"
       Thanks

       If the hospital own the land then yes, they can cancel this
       immediately.

       If their contract with Gemini allows them to.
