Title: Re: NCP - Misusing parent and child bays - Swansea Kingsway

Yes, as long as you move to talking about the registered keeper receiving the PCN rather than the driver, and because the PCN is not compliant with PoFA 2012 the liability can not be transferred from the unknown driver to the registered keeper.

At the moment you’re possibly shooting yourself in the foot by identifying the driver.

It's no surprise that NCP have gone bust!

The driver did not have a child with them, and was not aware that it was a parent and child bay. Is this worth contesting?

Can you confirm that the driver did have a child with them? If so, what roughly what age are we talking?

FWIW, the NtK is not PoFA compliant.

The driver was issued a parking charge by NCP at Kingsway, Swansea, date of incident of 24/02/2026 and received on 02/03/2026 for allegedly misusing a parent and child bay. I’m assuming their evidence is based on photos showing no child seat in the vehicle.

I haven’t responded yet and want to make sure I don’t accidentally weaken my position.
Thanks in advance!
