Proceeding contribution from Andrew Gwynne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3).


Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3)

May I give my hon. Friend another example? It involves the Peel centre, a retail park in the centre of Stockport where many of my constituents have received penalty fines for overstaying in the car park. One of my constituents challenged this in the courts and had the penalty overturned because the signage was so small that it was considered unreasonable to expect people to read the notices. Does my hon. Friend agree that it would be better to have a proper appeals system in place, rather than expecting our constituents to have to go through the courts in such cases?
