Well done on both embedding the image in the post and figuring out how you can show the EXIF data with the photo. Did you get any photos of the lamppost which definitely is not on private land?

Thank you for showing me! I will try and either go today or tomorrow morning to take a picture of that. Also, just wanted to ask if there is any point trying to raise an appeal with the IAS?

It would be easier if you used the function I suggested in my PM on how to embed the images in the post rather than as links to them on Imgur. Like this:



If you took the photos using your phone or a digital camera, then the date/time EXIF info is already embedded in the image itself. Just Google how to find the embedded image data. Here is a list of options that took a few minutes to extract:

I did take the photos with an iPhone, so I do have the day and date but I was thinking it needed to be "burned" on the imagine, like the CCTV camera for example.

Is this the location you parked? (GSV clickable image)

Just notice the signage on the pole. That is not there anymore as well as the double yellow lines leading to the gates on the right hand side.

Here is the full letter.

Hi all,

I got a PCN for apparently "parking in a manner where I was liable for a parking charge". I have appealed the parking charge which was of course rejected claiming that the zone that I parked was a no parking zone however, I believe I have parked on a public road. I enterned the car park to perform a U-turn (as it was safer there) and then went out again and waited as I was picking up someone, this whole process lasted 8 minutes. I have attached their rejection letter as well as the photos they send me as well as a screenshot of the location that they are claiming I parked (please note that I believe I was parked after the fence). Should I just pay it and forget about it? It just feels very unfair and predatory.
