Hi, anyone live near or passing Hermiston Gait Retail Park, Edinburgh. We’ve received a parking charge notice that we want to contest. We went to Tescos late at night whilst driving home from Scotland, bought some food and ate it before continuing south. The notice states we were there when the retail park was closed. I am 99% sure that I checked the signs nearby and there was no mention of a closed period. If anyone lives nearby or is passing, could they confirm, preferably with a photo. I know the ins and outs of just ignoring the notice, but if I am right I do want to appeal.
 
Don't live anywhere near, but Google AI search results...

"You can park for free at Hermiston Gait for a maximum of 3.5 hours. However, there is a restriction that you cannot return to the car park within two hours of leaving. For longer stays, consider the nearby Hermiston Park and Ride, which is open 24 hours and allows parking for up to three nights without permission."

No mention of any "closed" period?
 
Looks like they close at 20:00 (Sun 18:00) :(

Personally I would ignore them . I know , not everyone's way of doing things .
But , if you intend to appeal , do it now . Get any necessary evidence later .
Appeal on the grounds of insufficient signage (?) . Not necessarily the correct phrase but any parking app will be more accurate
