Private parking tickets / Unethical £100 PCN.
« on: September 09, 2025, 11:20:55 am »
Hi all,
I received a £100 PCN from NCP, the location of the supposed contravention being Birmingham Airport, England. I was using their 10 minute free drop off car park, controlled solely by ANPR. This area is notoriously awful for congestion as the exit sits on a busy roundabout.
The congestion was that bad, the person I was dropping off just left the car while we were stuck in the near standstill traffic. I didn’t even pull into a bay, I literally entered the car park and left all in one process, the 14 minutes and 37 seconds it took me was as fast as physically possible I could have left that car park.
Do they have grounds to reject my appeal? I believe it’s awfully unfair to penalise me for something that is completely out of my control, and this is borderline unethical. I have done some research and I believe there are some clauses in the BPA code of practice that can assist my case, but I do not beleive they have to rigidly follow them.
Entry was 15:21:15 and 15:35:52
Many thanks
