"Stressful car parking"

Anything else?

As the clocks had just gone back and I was visiting in the evening, it was dark. The location of the pay machines was not clear. The first two I found were out of order. The next was working but there was no light and it was impossible to see the keyboard to type in my registration. And there was no 'help' button to speak to a human to ask what to do. Probably to the annoyance of residents, I ended up parking on a local side street as I did not want to incur a fine. People are stressed enough when attending, either as a visitor or as a patient. Come on Rake Lane management, get this sorted. Too many people are not happy with the parking system.
