Very confusing parking signage (tiny print on small high signs, not pissible for wheelchair users to read from car) and charges, no concessions for blue badge holders, card payments only. Not user-friendly at all. DDA states no development shoyld reduce accessibility. Shame
Arrived 11am parked in disabled bay read sign Walked to parking machine. Pay on exit All good at this point Return to parking machine after walk enter information required and oh SHIT CARD PAYMENTS ONLY that’s not good as absolutely no sign saying card only and only have cash on me Is this another way for G4S to make extra money. I think so
I support disabled man who doesn’t have access to card payments clear discrimination I e mailed the park to complain but received no reply shame on kenfig park
We parked here on 2nd April 2023 , DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS , but apparently there were signs ,all I can say is they must have been mighty small and at an high elevation, because WE didn't see them . I've recently spoke to the Kenfig Warden and told him we legally parked in the disabled bay with our Blue badge and at the time 2nd April 2023 we couldn't see ANY signs . Iv been back there recently AND there's signs EVERYWHERE. My conclusion is when we parked there was a camera located high up a pole and probably the sign was up high and since people have been complaining they've installed lots more parking signs . I. Will be taking this further even though we've paid the fine £60 paid early to avoid paying £100 . This is daylight robbery and Kenfig nature should be deeply ashamed of themselves . Rob Davies.Can anyone produce invoices ,/ contracts whe ALL OF THESE SIGNES WERE PUT THERE
Visited Kenfig Nature Reserve after using Google to see the parking there which I screen shot as says free parking all year round. Did not notice any coin machines to pay for parking once entered the car park and did not pay much notice to be honest after seeing it said free parking and on the way out in the car noticed a machine of some sort high up for card payments only when I did not have a card on me. Now received a £100 fine From G24 so thanks for that and will ever return!!!
Trouble with you lot is you all want to avoid payment. My eyesight is poor but its good enough to see pay machines and booths. As for being free parking, that was fine when volunteers and donations were plentiful. Kenfig is a wonderful place to visit but it has to be kept wonderful and that costs. £3 for a days parking is not unreasonable. Everybody wants everything for nothing today. Shame on you all.
If you go walking 7 days a week for 3-4 hours you soon rack up a big parking bill. Maybe lazy people who go out once in a blue moon should think of that.

ReplyDeleteStrange that. I had no difficulty seeing the signs from the off. They have been there for 12 months or more. I'm very happy to pay just 12p per day.
