Nottingham Driver Challenges 17-Hour Parking Charge After Brief Retail Stop

She has appealed the £60 notice, citing records that she says place her elsewhere during the alleged overnight stay.

Overview

  • Premier Park alleges the car was parked at Springfield Retail Park in Bulwell for 17 hours and 44 minutes from 3:36pm on December 18 to 9:21am the next day.
  • The notice, dated December 23, demands £60, rising to £100 if not paid.
  • Nikita Betton says her visit lasted about 10 minutes and points to bank statements, a school run and other errands as evidence.
  • She reports submitting an appeal but says she has received no response and that the listed phone line is pay-to-call.
  • A campaigner from the Alliance of British Drivers criticized private parking practices and urged motorists to challenge such notices, and Premier Park has been asked for comment with no substantive reply reported; local outlets note similar past disputes at the same site.
