Topic: Parking fine |

1. Author: General Zod Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 16:25 I know itβs been done a few times on here but whatβs the deal with these? My maw parked at the Aldiβs next to East End for 2 hours during the week and got a parking fine from a company called Parking Eye. I know most folk just ignore these types of things but is that a good idea in this instance? Anyone know the rules of parking at Aldiβs? She got a letter to inform her. Reply |
2. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 16:46 Rule is simple - park for less than 90 minutes or get a fine. It`s written on all the signs. Personally, I`d disregard it. Although there have been cases of action being taken, it`s been for repeat offenders who won`t take a telling rather than a one-off. Reply |

4. Author: DunfyDave Date: Tue 24th Sep 2024. 18:22 Connor560, Tue 24 Sep 16:49 ^^^ I have heard this as well Connor. In Scotland a private parking company cannot enforce the fine BUT you must never answer any of their calls, emails or letters as this is deemed you have entered into communication and they may be able to enforce it. It is not the same rules in England and they will enforce payment. I have a van and park in a loading bay in London, put a "Making Delivery Sign" on the windscreen and the amount of times I have had a ticket and to go through the painful process of appeals is frustrating. Never paid one yet. Scottish Council and Government parkings will enforce payment. You can`t ignore them. DunfyDave Reply |

10. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Mon 30th Sep 2024. 10:08 If they are acting on behalf of Fife Council, then you need to pay the fine or legal action could be taken. If it`s just a company working on behalf of another company then due to Scots law it doesn`t have to be paid. These companies will obviously send more threatening letters but there`s nothing they can do and, in my experience, will eventually disappear. Reply |
11. Author: DBA Date: Mon 30th Sep 2024. 13:30 Buster_Brown, Mon 30 Sept 10:08 That`s no longer true. Scots Law now does allow them to be paid legally, law changed a few years ago. The chances of them coming after you are extremely low, unless you`ve built up a number of fines, however the law now does allow them to charge you. Reply |
12. Author: da_no_1 Date: Mon 30th Sep 2024. 19:29 Kinda unrelated but my 79 year old mum and her 3 pals (one of whom has a blue badge) parked on Kirkcaldy high St outside Bob and Berts, to go for a coffee. It`s the first time they`ve done this post covid. The driver got a parking ticket and Β£60 fine as apparently no vehicles are allowed to park there on a Monday Wednesday Friday and Saturday between 11 & 5 However they would`ve been OK on a Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Needless to say they won`t be back. No wonder the high street is dead. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
13. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 30th Sep 2024. 20:52 There are signs advising of the high street parking times at the entrance to the "pedestrian" zone but, like all things implemented by Fife Council, they make little sense. Being brutally honest, the council needs to review the pedestrian zones and either have them truly pedestrianised or open to traffic. This halfway house doesn`t work, especially in Dunfermline where it isn`t even enforced. Reply |
14. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Tue 1st Oct 2024. 13:26 da_no_1, Mon 30 Sept 19:29 My wife and I were ticketed down there as well , just about the same spot whilst displaying blue badge. The signs at the start of Kirkcaldy high street might as well be in Greek, impossible to understand! Reply |
15. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 1st Oct 2024. 15:45 I would suggest appealing as it`s poorly written and reads like the restricted hours only apply to lorries rather than blue badges. Reply |
16. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 3rd Oct 2024. 04:46 jake89, Mon 30 Sep 20:52 This was a killer when doing Just Eat as my job - there is nowhere to park to collect from the high st/kingsgate stores without breaking these daft rules. Luckily enough I avoided fines whilst working round the town, but itβs not exactly great for delivery drivers when theres 10 restaurants from there needing serviced. It puts a lot of drivers off accepting offers from them. Reply |
