I live in a road that sometimes has parking space issues (non CPZ). One neighbour with a drop kerb but no vehicle usually allows neighbours to park over her drive. She has two yellow metal vertical posts on her front yard to indicate when there isn't an issue. Coming back from an evening event on Wednesday, the posts were up and I parked up, unfortunately I forgot to move the car on the Thursday and was out late that night.
I now know that around 19.30 on the Thursday she posted on the road's whatsapp group asking for my car to be removed, this post was then followed by a number of posts by other neighbours (none identifying my car) so we didn't get to see the remove request. Come Friday, returning from work and she'd reported the car early leaving me with a £70/140 charge and a bad taste in my mouth for what I feel was a disproportionate response.
I tried speaking with her but just got a speel about how her son had travelled 'all the way down from Oxford' (about 50 miles) 'and didn't have anywhere to park' welcome to the world the rest of us are in because of all the drop kerbs in the street. I am wrong, didn't mean to do it and don't suppose there's anything I can do but as you always say, post here before doing anything and I feel a bit better for sharing!
