Poole Quay Car Park already has a notorious reputation with locals as being one of the smallest and hardest to navigate car parks in the area, but it seems payment issues might soon be added to this list of problems. Eleanor Spry says she has been left frustrated by the appeals process over what she claims is a 'wrongfully' issued parking ticketCredit: BPM This is certainly the case for Eleanor Spry, from Upton in Dorset, who was "wrongfully" issued a £60 parking ticket despite correctly purchasing a ticket, she claims. Eleanor said she took every measure to ensure that she correctly paid for the ticket and opted to purchase this digitally without the need for a printed ticket. However, it was not until she checked her banking app to find that the name of payment was issued under Water Gardens Parking, a car park in Hemel Hempstead, and not for Poole Quay Car Park, which is operated by Britannia Parking. The firm went onto issue Eleanor with a parking fine, claiming that she had not paid, despite her proof of payment. It has left Eleanor annoyed and frustrated by the situation and she explains that the appeals process is particularly draining and time consuming. She told DorsetLive that the whole incident has been a "kick in the teeth" especially after the trip to Poole Quay was meaningful for the family. In a statement, Britannia Parking said it takes complaints about its services "seriously". It added the firm is a "responsible car park operator" and advised drivers to "take care" when typing in the site code if paying by phone.
