asking client to give notice

[BurdockTheContractor]

In my previous contract at a well known satellite broadcaster, it took me about 25 minutes to drive to the 'Contractor Carpark' and about 15 minutes to walk to the office. My professional working day started when I parked my car in the car park and ended when I drove out of it.

Hi,

I am a limited company contractor. Last month I got a contract signed via an agency. The end client has got a partner recruitment agency which is acting as a client of my agency.

Now when I signed the contract I was under the impression that I will be parking onsite at client location. The client location is about 1 hour drive from my home. But just before joining I was told by agency that contractors have offsite parking from where shuttle comes to client main office. They told me it will not add more than 20 min. to overall journey.

Long story short it turns out that the parking and coming to client's main office has added 30-45 minute each side to my journey in peak hours.

Reality Check, get a cycle and cut out the shuttle?

I used to Cycle from West Malling to Hopewell Drive in Chatham daily whilst doing my apprenticeship until I could afford a Moped.
Cars were a distant luxury & I would have killed for a shuttle bus on snowy days! and all for £15.10 a week

Just turn up 45 minutes late and leave 45 minutes early every day.
Argue that the moment you've parked you've arrived and they can either lump it or solve your notice period 'issue' for you.

or just park in the permies car park anyway. You've not given anyone your registration details have you?
