Private parking tickets / Re: Euro Parking Services – lease vehicle – alleged "left the premises" contravention
« on: Today at 11:09:34 pm »
Any communication made, has been that I am hirer / keeper. Driver has not been identified by me.
This is the appeal I made:
"I am appealing this Parking Charge Notice as the hirer of the vehicle.
The vehicle remained on site for only a very brief period while the driver visited the immediately adjacent bakery premises. From the perspective of a reasonable visitor, the premises and surrounding customer areas appear physically connected and no clear site boundary was identifiable.
The signage relied upon does not prominently or clearly communicate that customers of the adjacent bakery are prohibited from parking, nor does it define any visible boundary between the businesses. The wording is vague and insufficiently clear for a driver entering the site for a short customer visit.
The duration involved was approximately 8 minutes only, entirely consistent with a brief genuine customer visit and/or a reasonable consideration period while assessing the premises and signage.
The photographic evidence supplied does not demonstrate any clearly marked site boundary being crossed, nor does it establish that the driver intentionally breached any clearly communicated parking restriction.
In addition, this vehicle is supplied through a lease/hire arrangement via XXXXLtd. Please therefore provide strict proof that all requirements of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 relating to hire/lease vehicles have been fully complied with, including all mandatory documents and prescribed timelines required to transfer liability to the hirer.
Unless full compliance with POFA Schedule 4 has been achieved, liability cannot be transferred from the driver to the hirer.
In light of:
the unclear and ambiguous site layout,
the absence of any clearly defined boundary,
the unclear signage wording,
the extremely short duration,
the genuine customer nature of the visit,
and the potential non-compliance with POFA requirements for hire vehicles,
I request that this Parking Charge Notice is cancelled.
Should you reject this appeal, please provide:
full evidence of POFA Schedule 4 compliance for hire vehicles,
copies of all documents served and dates issued,
a full site map identifying the exact enforced boundary,
evidence showing how that boundary is clearly communicated to motorists,
photographs showing all signage relied upon,
and evidence of landowner authority.
Yours faithfully
