As of May this year (2007) the national trust will make you pay to park at Cogden - seems to be the same charges as at Bexy - 40p an hour or £2 all day. Wonder if they'll use the money to pay for someone to stop the cars getting stolen & set fire to ??

If Tesco put up a sign that says they accept no responsibilty for your welfare above the door and you fell over, or tore an item of clothing inside their store, then you'd probably get compensation. Even if you had no intention of buying something. Quite how paid-for car-parks get away with avoiding their Duty Of Care has always confused me. A decent lawyer needs to win a case to overturn such a ridiculous situation.

Tis true, no one dares fish overnight at cogden anymore, years ago, i think before the National Crust owned it, you had to pay, but you could drive down the bottom & park your car where you could keep your eye on it. Seatown is also stiched up for overnight parking, the car park shuts at 5pm, ruined the thursday night club match ddown there. With cogden & hive now under National Crust control, might be worth getting membership, soon pay for itself if you fish the venues regular + you could visit places like Dunster & see what a mess i made of it Link to post Share on other sites

A decent lawyer needs to win a case to overturn such a ridiculous situation. Actually I believe a case has been won when it was ruled that if you charge for something, being parking or whatever, then you have to provide some service and accept some responsibility. You cannot charge then deny any responsibility. Once somebody points something out, the owners cannot deny liability if a loss occurs. What could happen is that they then ban parking because it's not worth the hassle for the money they receive. Or they could make parking after a certain time free and deny responsibility.
