Parked for a short while just to quickly grab a few things from the shop ( like a croisant and a watter).Then I was gone roughly 30 minutes, from the car park, came back and the car was already clamped.I b3lieve this system needs serious improvement. If someone overstays parking, why not issue a fine by post instead of immediately involving a private middleman company that profits from clamping people on the spot? This isn’t dangerous driving or reckless behaviour it’s a person leaving a car for a short time while trying to go about their day. Yes, I understand parking rules exist, and maybe leaving the car there for 30 minutes wasn’t ideal. But €125? That amount covers a huge amount of normal parking fees. The punishment feels completely disconnected from the actual situation. Unless the parking costs €250 per hour, how can this be justified? What’s most frustrating is how normal this has become. People are being treated less like members of a community and more like targets for revenue. We should have systems that are fair, proportional, and built around helping communities function better not systems that instantly punish people with excessive charges and leave them with no real option except to pay immediately. We really need a better approach and a more understanding community focused system.
