Thanks for all the advice.
They were contacted to see if a new pin/invoice had been sent out to the driver and they stated they were not intending to press the fine, just wanted an apology and a promise to not park there again.

So just general bullying and intention to cause stress with no intenti9n of follow-through!


Thanks for all the advice and support.

In the meantime, have you got any photos showing the layout of the signage at the site, how prominent it is etc.?

I can collect images tomorrow.
Pictures of camera, sign and general shots of the parking area?

They contacted the council fleet manager who then, via my boss confirmed it was me driving and have asked(and I’ve accepted) I was the driver therefore responsible. I was advised by a colleague to check on here for advice.
I think it’s going to be taken as a given that I will be responsible for the situation and sorting it out.

Should I contact them directly to solicitor’s company to address the situation around the fine/invoice?
Highlight the fact I parked for an exceedingly short period of time and as for a dismissal or at least reduction of the fee as I was acting in my council employee capacity but was wrong to park in their space?

I’m not sure.
Just that the fleet manager is aware I would be taking responsibility for this incident
I was in the vehicle and chose where it would be while it was in their property.

They have passed my details to them and my address as I have accepted responsibility for this.
I accept I parked there for a matter of 5 to 6 mins whilst performing my duties.

I’m mainly enquiring if I should engage with them directly to appeal to their better nature and explain I was working and parked for the minimal amount of time.

I was in control of the car during the time period, I was working, and they have passed the responsibility to me to deal with it.

I have accepted responsibility for this incident.
I am now the liable party…
(Ps. Thanks for the rapid response)

Whilst working in a branded works vehicle, council, I had to attend to an incident. There was no public parking available and not wanting to violate highways controlled traffic markings (double yellow lines/loading bans) I parked in a back street area  with five or six spaces. There was one other vehicle there and I was literally there for less than 6 minutes.
This happened in September 2024 and I have received, via the fleet manager, a notice on 30th January 2025 for a fine of £200.
The was a small sign I did not notice and I feel that prove is high for such a short duration visit.
Is there anything I can do?
Pictures of letter available if required…
Many thanks in advance.
