It seems that now you 1 1/2 hours free parking - then you must move on - ok fine for a 45 minute break
But if you want to park up for your daily rest you can only do this from 1900 -0700 - and this is enforced by the parking gestapo !!-
So I ask who make these rules :-
I just tried to pay to park for 12 hours - at 1630 - OMG you would have thought I had run naked around the forecourt lol
I explained I had run out of time (9:53) - and that I was leaving at 0330 in the dark hours - and could I pay for parking grab a shower and go to bed -
No we are sorry we cannot accept parking payments until 1900 - which is in 2 1/2 hours -
I explained again I was out of time and could they be a little flexible - nope rules is rules they said
Write your reg in the book for the free 1 1/2 and hope the clamper doesn’t come around afterwards before the 1900 start of parking time - where do these places get their rules - a big red bugger the driver book of rules I think !!
So here I sit fingers crossed - no shower yet and praying I don’t get a ticket - only 2hrs and 10 minutes to go until the magic timer clicks in and I can pay for parking - I might ask for a rebate on the 4 hours I wouldn’t be able to use in the early hours but I think their brains would turn even mushier pmsl

You’ve offered to pay they cant clamp you that would be classed as illegal detention as you have previously asked to pay They can send an invoice for your parking charge and that’s it. If it went to court they would be laughed out of the room .

I was 1 of the drivers in the shop when you attempted to pay and I do agree it’s ludicrous.
If the so called parking attendant appears, just let him put a ticket on your screen and promptly file it.
Is this the one on the left as you come out of gate 2? If so, I’d hate to spend the night there. I stopped for a pee on Saturday, and was gagging on the smell, the thought of having a tomtit or a shower in there - bleeurghh!

That bog/shower block has been like that for as long as I have been going down to f/stowe, like 20 years or so…
Clamping has been illegal on private land since October 2012. So that threat is a non starter.
As others have said, all they can do is invoice you for the one hour overstay before 7pm & I am pretty sure the charge would be totally disproportionate to their actual losses so it’d barely have a leg to stand on.
the firm handing out tickets and clamping are called pro serve enforcment and the cheeky ■■■■■ gave me a ticket last month for £180
id parked up on the back fence whipped in the garage for milk and off again this was around 6am needless to say i aint paying it one main reason aside from them taking the ■■■■ is they should make contact with the company within 14 days and they sent a letter 23 days later

That pro serve do all the parking enforcement in the area, including Ipswich on behalf of the land owner, Cambridge University.
