Thank you Incandescent. I think the singnage is very confusing and not visible. I appealed this PCN last night. Let's see what happens. It's £160 fine which is shockingly high for what it is.

Hi guys,
I need your help with my PCN. Can someone advise if I have any grounds to appeal it, please? Today is the last day I can do that.
The blue sign to the right is almost invisible with the tree covering it. I intuitively took the bus lane exit to join the main road. It's a tricky one and I can imagine I am not the only one who got this wrong.
I'll be grateful for any help received.

Hi guys!
I have an update on my case.
Today I received the Final Reminder from Britannia in the post.…together with the Waitrose customer service response to my email. They decided to arrange for the fine to be waived for me on this occasion as a gesture of goodwill. Emailing them worked! Thank you for your advice! None of the 3 managers from Waitrose even mentioned emailing customer service about it.
I am very happy that I don’t have to continue battling with Britannia. Saying that, would you know, if I must notify Britannia about Waitrose’s decision to cancel the notice? There is nothing mentioned in their email.
Regards,
Dot

Yes, the receipt can be presented to Waitrose’s customer service. I guess, this route is worth trying as well, but don't want to get my hopes high.
Someone, I know, an elderly gentleman, lost a sense of time in the Waitrose cafe, reading a paper after food shopping. He had written a letter to customer service saying exactly what you suggested. They didn't cancel the PCN and he is shopping somewhere else now. I wish I had known about the FTLA back then and could suggest appealing it.

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for your input and advice. I spoke with a few managers in Waitrose but they all say that they are not allowed to interfere with Britannia’s doings and can't cancel PCNs. I used a template provided to appeal my PCN and now waiting for Britannia to reply.
I will update you accordingly.
All the best,
Dot

Private parking tickets / PCN from Britannia Bromley
« on: February 01, 2024, 01:34:15 am »
Good evening everyone,
I received a PCN from Britannia in the post on Monday 29th January. The PCN has been issued 22nd January 2024.
The driver believed that they were eligable for 2 hours of free parking, not 1.5hrs. The parking signage is very poor and not visible: away from the parking wing or below eye level (ref: a pic with a red car in front of it).
The layout of the store and parking below:

A driver parked at the left wing, close to the train tracks.
I'd appreciate your advice about the best way to appeal it.
Kindest regards,
Dot

Their first response to my appeal stated something quite the opposite. It's interesting that they ‘changed their perspective’ on it a few months down the line. 
You’re suggestions worked regardless! I'm very happy we won this procedural nonsense.
I’ll be signing off now. Thanks again!

Hello there,
Apologies for the delay. I'm away with limited access to wifi.
Please, find below the body of my appeal.
“I want to appeal the PCN dated 16.05.23.I parked my little car next to the kerb on a residential road which is located behind the bottom of the High Street to take my donations to a charity shop. I couldn't find a parking space anywhere near the charity shop, so I circled the neighbouring area for a while. I saw the car driving off this little spot and decided to park there. It was in the front of a semi-detached house with a very wide driveway, big enough for 3 cars. I tipple-checked if I wasn't causing an obstruction. I dragged my donations to a charity shop and on my return, I almost cried when found a PCN behind the wiper. Even though the kerb seemed to be on a shorter side I would never thought I would be causing a nuisance or causing an offence. I am a very careful driver and always respect road signage and restrictions. The time of PCN is 11:21-11:21 so no observation time. I feel it was issued very unfairly. All I wanted to do was a good deed. Please cancel this PCN. Thank you!’

Good evening!
I followed your advice and didn't pay the penalty fee. I now received a ‘Notice to Owner’. What shall I do next? Appeal it?
Thank you in advance for your guidance on it.
Warmest regards,
Dot
