A car park which has been free to park for a set number of hours for decades has changed its rules, and people have been caught out already. Prospect Car Park, within Parc Tawe Retail Park in Swansea city centre, towards the rear of the old Staples store, which soon will become Barnardos, once allowed people to park there for three hours without having to pay anything.
Now new signs have been put up to warn that things have changed and a pay and display system has been put in place. Those who do not follow the rules will be charged £100. The Alliance Parking sign which reads: "This is private property. By parking or remaining, you accept the terms of this contract and agree to pay the charges. A parking charge of £100 will be incurred if: Your vehicle is present and a valid ticket is not displayed face-up on the dashboard enabling all the printed information to be inspected, with the exception of those with a valid 'JustPark' session in place.
"If payment for the duration of your vehicle's stay has not been made in full - payment is required immediately upon arrival - the tariff applies from the time of entry until the time of exit. Your full correct registration number must be entered when making payment." You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
