There have been roadworks (now complete and completely cleared) however there are suspended bay parking restrictions which we did not realise. We parked late on a Sunday arriving home with three children and didn’t realise that one space in the parking bay had a restriction. We do concede that the car was parked in a bay that was restricted.
We received our first ticket that night at 10:34. We do not go past the car and at the first time when we came past the car we saw that we had three tickets in total - One on Sunday night, one on Tuesday morning and one on Wednesday morning - after which the car was moved.
It feels quite predatory practice from the council - £80 per ticket - feels like an unfair cost for the level of mistake that occurred. We are just looking in to how we could best approach the tickets in the 14 day window before the cost goes up.
