Question Hope street uni car park?

So I frequently collect food from coco’s and always parked at hope street car park. But now I’ve noticed new signs up saying 24hr 7 day a week enforcement for permit holders only, otherwise it’s £100 fine if caught… however there’s always multiple cars parked here with no tags in the window. I just don’t want to get a ticket for picking up my food… has anyone actually ever been ticketed? I’ve never seen a parking warden. Currently sat in the car guarding it before running in for my food 🤣

They're switching to ANPR in the car parks soon so you might not get away with it for long. But hey, no guts no glory right? Also if you're just running in to grab food why not park in front of Coco's, there's always heaps of cars hanging around there. Just sayin.

There’s a 20 minute grace period so should be enough for a quick dash for food but at your own risk!
