Hello,
PCN received from Azure Parking for alleged offense on July 24th for 12 minutes from 16:08 to 16:20).
Parking was on the premises of a Shell garage. The first sign you see as you turn in to the petrol station is for Euro Car Parks, with large signage saying 20 minutes free parking.
I left my car to pop in for shopping and thought nothing of it.
It was only after receiving the PCN that the driver went back to the premise and noticed only the first 3 bays are for Euro car parks, and the next 3 are for Azure (who have no time allowance).
We have never seen this set up before, two separate private parking companies operating adjacent bays. So this was an oversight.
Is there any grounds for appeal please? How can I identify any non compliance with POFA (I couldn't see any at a cursory glance)
