点评:Paid to park and then spent 6 hours in and around Paignton spending money in various places on food and drink and entertainment etc. It is nice enough but quite run down and in need of some renovation. But was Ok for a weekend.
On return to my car had got a ticket. Spoke to traffic warden who was not the most pleasant lady and also seemed to be buzzing with glee with the amount of tickets she was giving out. Apparently I wasn’t parked completely within the bay. As they are doing up the beach front there was limited parking and the cars either side of me weren’t parked straight so had parked as best I could. I wasn’t obstructing anyone or causing anyone else not to be able to park or drive past but she gave me a ticket. I appealed and lost.
I will not be returning to Paignton! The council are supposed to be encouraging people to the area but instead charge people for some ridiculous reason despite me having paid to park.
So a word of warning if parking at the beach make sure you are 100% within your bay don’t be an inch out and don’t bother appealing any tickets.
翻译:我付了停车费,然后在佩恩顿及其周边地区待了六个小时,在各种地方花钱吃饭、喝酒、娱乐等等。那里还不错,但有点破旧,需要翻新。不过周末来玩还行。
回到车旁时,我发现收到了一张罚单。我和一位交通管理员说了这件事,她态度不太好,而且似乎对她开出的罚单数量感到很得意。显然,我的车没有完全停在停车位内。由于海滩正在修缮,停车位有限,而且我两边的车停得也不正,所以我只能尽力停好。我没有妨碍任何人停车或通行,但她还是给我开了罚单。我申诉了,但被驳回了。
我以后再也不会去佩恩顿了!市政厅本应鼓励人们来这里,却因为一些荒谬的理由向我收费,尽管我已经付了停车费。
所以,如果您要在海滩停车,请务必确保您的车 100% 停在停车位内,一寸都不要超出,也不要费心去申诉任何罚单。
