You're on dodgy ground there.
Do you drive a car?

Yes, and I drive it and park it properly, aware that it is a privilege to drive and a gross luxury to have a car, and that it is a murder weapon if misused.
When I talk about cars destroying the environment, I don't mean it in a loony-left way (greenhouse gases and carbon emissions); I mean that they ruin our everyday surroundings - cars and vans are so numerous and intrusive nowadays, and so much land is being given up for them. Their numbers only ever increase.
My environment is my house, my garden, my street and my town.
From my window I'd rather see a field than the side of a dirty white van.

Then you need to move house!
Everybody "profits" from using a vehicle, even if it is not used for business purposes, including you. But you seem to exempt yourself.

Secure - you are talking to someone who believes that greenhouses gases and carbon emissions are inventions of the "loony left".
You surely don't expect him to exhibit any intelligent or rational behaviour, do you?

I think you'll find that everybody except you realised I was asking you for your suggestion for an alternative to "antisocial cars and vans", not where they should be parked.
Why should everybody have to pay more because you don't like to see vans?
When you park it, do you always, without fail, do so where nobody can see it?
When you drive it do you always, without fail, drive it along roads which nobody can see?
I'm sure you would.
So when vehicles are legally parked, as in
Who do you think should have to look at them?
I'm afraid that becoming a luddite and revert back to pre-crude oil or even pre-coal/steam days would take a collective and catastrophic effort.

he kinda needs to own the field too, otherwise someone will build on it.Then buy a house next to a field, not a car park.
The only solution to the problem is to remove 50% of the population. Anyone care to volunteer?
Anyway back to the thread - highly likely that the parking was lawful and highly likely that the OP paid the charge rather than have the stress and bother of fighting it. Which is what these firms rely on.

The home owner wrote to the parking company.
They have sent an email to my mate, saying they are investigating and not to pay yet.
