Private parking tickets / 1 of 3 private tickets
« on: August 18, 2025, 02:11:51 pm »
Hi all,

My technophobe friend Ibrahim asked me to help out with this, plus 2 other private tickets and one Wandsworth Council parking ticket.

This one is Lidl car park. He and his family were doing a week's shop, his son had to use the toilet several times (they don't of course have a public toilet, but will allow use of the staff toilet if asked with suitable urgency). Then having paid they tried to scan the till receipt for the parking but all the scanners but one were out of order and the single working one has a sizeable queue. By the time they got out, the time limit had been exceeded by a few minutes.

Ibrahim had been advised to ignore the Parking Charge Notice but I suggested putting it on here.

From what I understand, the options are pay, ignore, or write an email or snail mail to the company CEO.

Many thanks for any guidance

Hi all,

A friend has asked for my help so here I am. His English comprehension is limited and he's a technophobe so I am better placed to ask this forum's help.

I have a bunch of documents relating to three alleged transgressions at supermarkets, and one in a controlled parking zone in which his Blue Badge fell on the floor and the traffic warden didn't see it.

My question just now is, should I make one post for each ticket, or roll them up into one post and sort them into paragraph order? I can see that the latter could quickly get convoluted, so I imagine one post per ticket would be best, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks a lot
Peter

Thanks entirely to the expertise, knowledge and generosity of Hippocrates, my appeal was allowed. He knew the law better than the adjudicator, who had to look it up!

Lovely to meet you too.

Thanks again Hippocrates, my hero of the moment!
Peter

Please. Listen to my advice and confirm your e mail address to me via a PM. Old cases are based on the arguments presented. My information is comprehensive.

Thanks... I emailed you yesterday, at 22.14. maybe it went to spam? Nevertheless I'll try again

Thanks for this pointer, but I couldn't find the way forward. The site kept returning me to the home page. I couldn't find a "search" button.

Try

https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/about/registers-appeals

Hit 'Access the statutory registers' button

scroll; down to (ETA)

hit the 'search' button.

Well that worked, thanks, but on entering a 3-year period to today, the location as shown on my PCN ("buslane shepherds bush road southbound offside", and the borough, the search returned only one result, a successful appeal based on the bus lane sign not appearing in the CCTV photo. My PCN has the sign, although it does seem to be slightly after the start of the bus lane markings.

I wonder if it's worth riding back to the location with a tape measure? It's not too far.

Have the councils sorted the Secretary of State's certificates for their cameras yet or still not ? If not yet, the evidence is inadmissible at tribunals stage, all Greater London's bus lane PCN for the past years have been issued without any admissible evidence : https://lbbspending.blogspot.com/2022/12/how-to-get-bus-lane-pcn-in-london.html

Senior members will confirm if this is still a valid argument in May 2024 or not.

The vast majority of them have but they still need to attend and be cross-examined. And one council, at least, uses one camera which does not have a VCA certificate. This bus lane though has other issues re the signage.



How would I find this out? An email asking for a copy of the VCA certificate for camera number HBF302?

You can search the London Tribunals Statutory Register of cases to see the cases at this location. Try the last couple of years.

Hi all,

On 15th April I was snapped in a bus lane in Hammersmith (London). I admit to this, of course, it was me on the bike.

On 2nd May I had to go to hospital, and was the next day informed from home that a PCN had arrived for me. As I felt unable to deal with it properly at the time I sent an email to LBHF (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) requesting an extension of the grace period. I got an automatic reply. I phoned the number on the PCN and was reassured that as my email had been received, the PCN was automatically on hold until a reply was sent. Until now, there has been no reply so I assume it's still on hold.

Nearly all of London's bus lanes now permit motorcycles as well as buses and taxis and I've been sort of taking this for granted. Suddenly here is a confusing sign, showing a bus lane in the middle of the road, that I was trying to decipher and I missed the fact that there was no motorcycle icon shown. In no time I was past the sign and in the bus lane, which of course I assumed was open to motorcycles.

Apart from the fact that I can think of no convincing reason to exclude motorcycles from bus lanes, which suggests that this exclusion may simply be a money-making scheme which works by catching bikers out, I am fully resigned to paying the fine.

Unless there is a reason to challenge? Can anyone suggest whether I have any grounds?

Many thanks
Peter
