Ravenside - do we need parking meters?

[Fly]

1. Probably because it wasn't enforceable.
2. The ticket issuers know that.

Nice result though

Went to the ravenside earlier this week browsed and eventually purchased a laptop, moved over the mobile phone sections, took rather a long time as daughter wanted a new one and because of disabilities it needed to be right in certain ways. Ran out of the two hour time before she could buy one!
Have sent a letter to DCC asking if this parking time is to be revised as quite frankly it's silly and business's will lose money.
Let you know if I get a reply.

Yes spot on JR - got the response today.
I wonder what the shopping managers think of it?

[Slacker]

Not sure why you contacted DCC when we discussed earlier in the thread is was private

[Fly]

Just re-read the thread Andy, 'Land Owner' was mentioned. Not that the land is 'Private' though.
IE, not owned by Chesterfield or Derbyshire County, or North East Derbyshire councils.

Easy to mix up OC when there's 3 local councils in the same area. Hence JR's comment.

I at least thought that being in the Borough the council would have been in some kind of contact with the owners.
Who exactly has built the recent shops/eating places is building the new ones?

This two hour parking was ok when there were only a few shops there - it's a different matter now though.
If I had a business I certainly wouldn't want to go on there at the present time.

I was sent this link with the reply.

Interesting that Land Securities Retail say we have a residential population of 1,110,741 when Wikipedia says we only have 103,800...

Still, I suppose they need to use big figures to get the retailers in.

One is trying to act adult and not post swear words. One has also had a drink 
One also spent time looking after some old dear who took a fall this morning, and has just realised the post he made on here, isn't here. I must have previewed it and moved on. Didn't press the post button. Hope the old lass is ok.
I really don't want to post the entire story again. So mad with myself.

I looked into the issue when a couple of people I know accidentally transgressed the 3 hour limit at Meadowhall Retail Park.

They cannot fine you, they can only sue for breach of contract as it will say somewhere on their notice that by parking there you have entered an agreement.

They send you a notice that looks like a fine but it isn't. The scare people into paying by offering discount for quick payment. If you challenge it and they decided to take you to caught they would have to prove the excess charge is fair and unreasonable. They are unlikely to take it to court though I suppose if same person parked there all day every day to commute they may take this action.
