#2 UKCPS - No parking permitted at any time.
on 12 Feb, 2025 14:54 in Private parking tickets
Received 2 NtK's back to back a day apart, different situations.Reason for issue: No parking permitted at anytime.Tbh if the driver had known this beforehand the driver wouldn't have gone there. Before entering the road, There was no board indicating that the driver is entering controlled land or a prohibited parking area.Is momentarily waiting not allowed any longer? To deliver belongings to a resident. Driver clearly did not park nor turn the car off. The board was partially readable from where the car stopped, all the driver could make out from that distance was controlled land/ private land. Had literally tried reading the board by tilting forward but could not do so from that distance. Saw the road end and turn into a closed shutter parking building, so was surprised and stopped. Leeds - https://maps.app.goo.gl/KkjQ8XYNgVjxRzjp6 To use the phone, Driver made sure not to obstruct any vehicles (eg,emergency services) and remained in the car. Contacted the customer and was told she will be there shortly passed her belongings and disappeared from there. Driver feels like being lead into a (fine) trap. Lesson learned helping residents out in Leeds during a difficult time can be very costly for some and may have to quit doing this while looking for a job.Now my question is are we not allowed to drive and deliver in controlled land or private land? Even when there are no red lines?, no double yellow lines? Shouldn't there be a no stopping sign instead? Driver mistake was 1. Delivering during the snowy period. 2.appeal as it's first time getting a fine. 3. Being too honest eg. Accepting who was the keeper and driver when appealing. Clearly did not see a no stopping nor no waiting sign or would have disappeared. Rejected obviously.Would appreciate it, if someone could tell me what would be the best thing to do in this situation. Believe in justice but boards signs I have never seen before popped up. A honest Law abiding citizen without knowing the full extent of law, but hard earned money should not been given out so easily other than only to the poor/homeless or needy.Thank you in advance for taking your time to help.
