A few days ago, I received a parking charge fraudulently from One Parking Solution even though I was fully compliant with both a visitors permit allowing me to park and a valid blue badge to park in the disabled bay. The parking site is private land just off St Martins Place and provides parking spaces for residents of the three blocks of Council flats with Napier House being the middle one (see attached map). The parking area land is owned by St Martin's church with St Wilfrid and St Alban in Lewes Rd, Brighton, BN2 3HL.
The PCN states contravention reason as:
Vehicle not pre-authorised (No E-permit)
“Notice of the charge having been clearly displayed on the signs on site, the period of parking to which this charge relates, is the period immediately preceding the time of issue above”
This statement is false (please see the photo attached of one of the few signs on site) the sign reads as follows: -
Parking is permitted for:
· Vehicles fully and clearly displaying a valid permit in front windscreen and parked fully within the confines of a marked bay
and/or
· Pre-authorised vehicles parked fully within their allocated parking space
Vehicles parked within a marked disabled bay must fully and clearly display a valid disabled badge in addition to the above.
I have tried to call them to no avail. I have emailed a complaint and a general enquiry no response yet. I have also appealed the charge on their website.
Clearly looking around online its obvious what type of business they are and I'm gearing up for the long haul fighting their thugish behavior. Knowledge is king so your help is very welcome
