Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks a lot, your response was re-assuring and helpful.

In a bit of a panic I sent an email to the fuel station where the fine was issued and asked them to check the CCTV and request the fine to be cancelled as I was a genuine customer.
They came back with, they do not have the CCTV footage from July and asked me to provide the PCN scan to them, which I did.

Another email arrived yesterday from the store confirming that EURO Carparks have cancelled the PCN.. which is great.

"Morning,

I can confirm Euro car parks have cancelled the ticket.

Regards"

Thank you so much for your help, really appreciate the work you guys are doing. Cheers!

Hi,

I have received the letter attached: https://imgur.com/a/HY92kHd

Can you please suggest where to go from here, panic!

Thanks for the advice!

Does the entrance sign to the location conform to Appendix B?

I looked but couldn't find any particular sign at the entrance, only these 5 signs in the parking.

Thanks for responding.
I think there is one sign but it is nearby so I will go tomorrow and take pictures.
There is a co-op shop and a post office in a corner inside.

Hi,

My family (3 adults and 2 children) were stuck in a lift of a museum for more than an hour, where we visited as a birthday treat for my daughter.
This included baby who just turned 1 year and high blood pressure patient (mother in law).
The museum staff took it pretty light in the beginning and were saying we have asked the engineer to come out we can't say how long it will take, could be an hour or more and they were happy to just wait.
My family was complaining that it is a small lift and feeling suffocating so I called the emergency service 999 who came out and eventually had to cut the steel door open. This resulted in dust being built up initially while cutting the door and people inside along with the baby started coughing and crying, cutting was stopped then and the glass panel was removed to pass on some masks and ear muffs to people inside.
Finally they were out after the agony of more than an hour, mother in law's blood pressure had already shot up and was not feeling well at all, overall it was a very traumatic experience for my family.

After the engineer arrived around 2.5 hours later, he said why didn't you used a key to open which the museum staff confirmed that they had but didn't know where to insert it (it was a metal key similar to the one used for meter cabinets or loft doors)

Do you see a case here? may be lack of lift maintenance, lack of staff training on using the key to open the door as the lift had almost arrived but the door wouldn't open and lift was not moving to come up the final half a meter.
The lift company contact number was not picking up the call either after first conversation that engineer will be on the way, if they had a person who could've guided the fire staff then most probably there wouldn't have been a need for all that loud banging and hazardous cutting that took place.

The museum has refunded the tickets for the day.

Any suggestions are helpful, thanks

Hi,

Location: Manor Hospital Oxford parking
Company: Euro Car Parks

I was issued a PC Notice for using the car park on 22nd July due to a visit to the hospital.

Notice issued on 28th July.

Appealed on 6th Aug by providing the appointment letter with a doctor at the hospital and stated that the number plate was entered on the tablet in the hospital, It must be an issue with the number entering device and should be checked.
Considering this was a legitimate reason for using the parking, the penalty should be dismissed.

Considering the behaviour of these companies, I won't be surprised if they come back and insist that I pay the fine.
I believe the next step will be that I will need to appeal with POPLA, so I'm preparing in advance and have the advantage of time on my side, is there anything I can use should I need to appeal with POPLA?

Your guidance will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

WOW that would be great! Thanks!

If you are still ok then I'll go back to council and confirm that I would like to go to the Tribunal.

I would also appreciate if you can guide me on the next steps.

Many thanks!
