The reviewed decision on paying to park is a strong ground in my view.
We've had several battles with councils on location codes when they can differ even in adjacent bays but with the same conditions. The Ringgo app presents a choice of nearby locations and if you're in a road that changes name along its course you can easily select the wrong one if you're aware of the main road name but not the other it also has at some point.
I recall helping a doctor in Islington who was sitting in her car when it was pouring with rain and she picked the code for the next bay to hers just a few feet away and Islington backed down essentially on the grounds of duty of fairness.
This is exactly what happened, the app provided the codes, so I selected thinking it was the correct one. I just want to know whether it was worth all that hassle, particularly when it is free for one hour. The recent reviewed decision is helpful, but Redbridge Council is an absolute pain. I just got back from Court today successfully won a private parking company from parking in 2019! I dont know if I can actually be bothered, as this took 1.5 years to finally got done with. Its the fact that I did have an active session, but they force you to use an app / ring up and got rid of all the pay&display machines which i used to use for the 1 hour free session.
