National Parking Enforcement LTD

Good evening lovely peeps.

Received a parking Charge NTK-Driver stopped or waited in a restricted area. The driver was picking up a minor from the flat, was clocked for being parked for just over 20 mins. This is an estate road, funny as the cameras in the estate have been out of use for long time due to a tower block being demolished.

The NTK was posted on 11/08/26. I will scan it tomorrow and try and upload the ntk. Meantime, are these another bogus company?

Thanks

We'll give proper advice one we see the NtK and identify the location.

Sorry not sure if this works?

Anybody?

The photographs provided are not timed and show the vehicle in different positions. This seem to indicate that they have been taken by manual camera. Under normal circumstances yellow lines on the highway allow a vehicle to park for loading and unloading with exceptions. On private land they have no legal meaning but come under the T&C that the driver agrees to. Do you have any photographs of the signs at the location and where they are dining relation to the vehicle. The vague reason for issuing the PCN should be absolute they use the either or I wonder if this would have any impact.

Sorry I will take some during the daylight. The photos are date and time stamped.

This sign shows the anomaly of placing yellow lines and to an extent red lines. No stopping does that mean you can’t stop in the event of someone stopping in front of you. Or someone crossing the road with a pram etc. Generally yellow lines pained mean that you can stop on them. Will the 20 minute wait be valid you can try to see what th the outcome will be.

Thanks Sander, other issue I have, is this not part of the highway or Council as I am sure the road markings would be their responsibility? I will wait for some further guidance from other members. Many thanks

That is my point the sign does not mention anything about yellow lines. So how can they conclude it is a restricted area. They are trying to turn lines painted by the highway authority on the public roads into some pseudo parking restrictions on private land. The guidance you are waiting for is to appeal on the points raised they have made mention of period of parking and blandly made reference to the creditor. They will no doubt reject but there is a further process

I agree.
Red or yellow lines on private land may have an implied meaning but are only legally relevant if the signs define their meaning under the contract the driver enters into.
A long time ago I’d go to IBM Warwick (now closed!) when it was incredibly busy and I once ended up having to park all day on double yellow lines. “They’re only IBM double yellow lines” was my correct interpretation, and nothing came of it as expected.

Thanks Guys! Not sure if there is any template I can use. Kind regards

There are a number of appeals on this forum that as long as you follow a basic principle and Taylor it to your circumstances that will suffice. Do NOT appeal using the term driver. You need to appeal as the registered keeper.
