Chester car park wardens take no prisoners.
This poor motorhomer clearly was just using initiative but they don't like that.
He's used a dead area to ensure he's not overhanging but placed his wheels wrong, they have got a ticket.
Boo chester, not fair.
Obviously not me as im used to the system.

Some places allow no over hanging*, along with you cannot pay for two tickets nor can any vehicle have a trailer attached.Bear street car park in Barnstaple is one like that-
*unless of course you are a local large van owner

Edinburgh Council don't allow "double tickets" as many foreign visitors have found.

The only P&R for motorhomes is near the airport at Ingleston (no overnight) but there are regular buses and trams to the centre.

Has something changed at this park, it was always the bee's knees on here, always being mentioned as a good stopover , now this is the second complaint I have seen about it recently.
Never been myself , just going on what I have read.

They have always been a bit pedantic here but maybe they are chasing money to shore up shortfalls in the budget.

It's still a good stop, but they are applying the rules to the letter

Have used it many times and have seen a few tickets so they have been keen for a while so safer to take your ticket from the top machine and use 2 bays if you don't fit in one , i always try and park by the river but that's a bit tight even with a 6.2m van and the last time i was there i cracked my rear bumper on a post i hadn't seen. Well signed on way in what they will do you for.

That is just it.You can't be in the "non space".
it is outside the white lanes which would probably finish at the drain gulley
I get you cant be in the non space, what I don't get is why someones complaining about them getting a ticket when they plainly haven't parked in a space?

Don't think so, I've always liked it as a stopover, wife loves Chester and we always have a few drinks and meals when there and she loves the shopping!

One of the reasons I have gone to a smaller van it fits in one space tight but saves a bit of stress
I have had two tickets in the 11 or so years we have had our van.
One in wales and one in Chester little rode I just payed it.
And don’t go thare any more we spend lots of money in the shops restaurants thare but just don’t go thare any more
