In September last year PLymouth City Council announced in partnership with CP Plus the refurbishment of Mutley Plain car park. In October I purchased a 3 month ticket and was allocated a bay on the middle level as the top level is for short stay only. I paid for a further 3 months in January, was allocated the same bay, and in April I paid for an annual ticket and was again allocated the same bay. Last week I and several others who park there had notices put on the cars saying that due to refurbishment we had to move to the lower level, which is dirty and poorly lit. On asking how long this would take, we were told that we had to stay on the lower level because Plymouth University want the whole of the middle deck. We complained to the council but were told that CP Plus are responsible for the day to day operation of the car park and they can do what they like. We have refused to move and have now been told that if we continue to park in our previously allocated spaces we will be clamped. Can they do this? I thought I could only be clamped if I am parking illegally, and surely if I have paid and am in my allocated bay I am not parking illegally?
