Effective Date: 1 March 2026

This document governs the use of:

The Castle Street Car Park, Castle Street, Stafford, ST16 2ED (“the Site”), and

The website www.castlestreetparking.co.uk

By entering the Site or using the website, you agree to these Terms.

1. Definitions

Operator
Central Staffordshire Conservative Federation, Castle Street, Stafford, ST16 2ED.

Driver
The individual who parks or is in control of a vehicle on the Site.

Permit
A digital authorisation purchased via our official payment system for a specified Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) and time period.

Parking Charge
A contractual charge of £100 payable for breach of these Terms.

2. Agreement to Terms

The Site is private land.

Parking is permitted only under the contractual terms set out here.
By parking on the Site, the Driver agrees to comply with these Terms.

Parking is a contractual licence granted by the Operator. It is not a statutory or proprietary right.

3. Permit Requirements

Parking is strictly limited to vehicles with a valid digital Permit.

A Permit is valid only:

• For the specific Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) entered at purchase
• For the duration purchased
• When payment has been successfully completed

Failure to enter the correct VRN is the responsibility of the Driver.

4. Permit Types

Unless otherwise stated at the point of purchase:

Daily Permit
Valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase.

Weekly Permit
Valid for 7 consecutive days from activation.

Monthly Permit
Valid for 1 calendar month (or 30 consecutive days if specified at purchase).
Monthly permits allow parking at any time during the validity period, including overnight.

All permits are non-transferable.

5. Breach of Terms & Parking Charge

A Parking Charge of £100 becomes payable if:

• No valid Permit exists for the vehicle
• The vehicle is parked outside the validity period
• The VRN entered does not match the vehicle parked
• The vehicle is parked obstructively or outside marked bays

The Parking Charge represents a contractual sum agreed by the Driver for unauthorised use of private land and covers the administrative costs of enforcement.

6. Discounted Payment Period

If the Parking Charge is paid within 14 days of issue, the amount is reduced to £60.

After 14 days, the full £100 becomes payable.

7. Liability

The Parking Charge is the responsibility of the Driver at the time of the parking event.

The Operator may contact the registered keeper solely to request identification of the Driver.

The registered keeper is not liable unless proven, on the balance of probabilities, to have been the Driver.

8. Failure to Pay

If unpaid, the Operator may:

• Seek recovery from the identified Driver
• Engage a debt recovery agent
• Initiate proceedings in the County Court (Small Claims Track)

Reasonable recovery costs and court fees may be added where legally permissible.

9. Vehicle Removal

Vehicles parked dangerously, obstructively, or apparently abandoned may be reported to the relevant authorities.

In cases of serious obstruction or safety risk, removal may be arranged in accordance with applicable law.

10. Limitation of Liability

Vehicles and their contents are parked at the Driver’s risk.

The Operator is not liable for theft, damage, or loss unless caused by the Operator’s negligence.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:

• Death or personal injury caused by negligence
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• Any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded
