Parked at Fistral beach and thought I'd paid via the app. Checked my phone about 15 minutes later and noticed payment hadn't gone through. Kept trying via the app multiple times and it wasn't working - some sort of payment gateway issue and not with my card associated to the app. Went back to the car park and looked at the machines which seemed to give only payment options of coins or app. I had no coins so ended up leaving to park somewhere where I could actually pay. From the point of entry to leaving it was 42 minutes which was spent unloading car, faffing about with trying to pay, reloading the car and then leaving. Got the penalty notice, appealed and got rejected. I'll pay the 60 quid as it's less hassle and and not worth my time fighting it but,,, INITIAL PARKING = Greedy, blinkered scum! This attitude makes me not want to Fistral Beach again and as such not spend my money with the local businesses and stores there. Be aware,,, as from what I have experienced - if you enter and can't pay due to technical reasons you'll get fined. If you do enter and can't pay due to technical reasons you may as well stay there as at least you'll get parked. I left to try and do the right thing and ended up getting fined anyway. FFS!
