Just got myself an unwelcome parking ticket in Sainsbury's car park from Poole Council after buying and displaying a ticket! I'm fuming mad.
Paid 80p for an hours parking at 10 13am and at 10 24am despite part at the separated ticket being on the dash, I was given a ticket for "Not Displaying" a valid ticket.
It's one of those tickets that gives you a refund on your parking fee if you spend £5 or more and the reverse side of one portion clearly shows that is the part of the ticket to show in-store when paying.
So I separate ticket, place the other part on the dash without reading it and wander off. On my return I spot the parking ticket and the part I left on the dash telling me that was the refund portion and was not valid for display in the car park.
I'm going to dispute this ticket as it clearly states I had to take the part of the ticket into the store for the refund (which I incidentally didn't use)
OK, the part I left behind also states its not valid,my fault for not noticing that, but you can't have it both ways in my view.
Photos below showing part on the right which I left on the dash in Pic 1 and the part on the left, clearly written in orange in pic 2 stating thatwas the part to take.
Should I bend over, or do I have a case?
