Free Traffic Legal Advice

The authorities reason for not contesting the appeal are

"Parking Attendant used an old printer roll and unhappy with quality of responses to informal and formal appeal."

I guess the first is an excuse for the mismatched amounts on the front and back of the PCN, and the last is them saying they are just being nice as I was unhappy at my previous appeals not being accepted?

At any rate it's a win, quick and easy and I am happy

Thanks to all on here for all your help

Pains me to think they won't change the signage though and more people will fall prey to them :/

Going for option 1 only

And there was this at the end [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

OP, why do you post beheaded docs?

The CC omits its date! Pl repost so that all 4 sides are visible, this way we know that everything which needs to be displayed is displayed.

If, as I suspect, this is simply a case of your letter being delivered a little later than the last permitted date (actual delivery being irrelevant in law, it's the presumed date which counts) then you just need to bring this to the council's attention - their website even has a chat link. You would not be arguing the toss about your reps, simply that the CC was premature. In reality, any council which simply times its processes with a hair trigger at this time of year is foolish. The legal reality is that they had no power to issue the CC if your reps were posted* on 1 Dec.

*- posted doesn't mean posting at 10.30pm on 1st in a post box whose next collection was Mon. 2pm, it means posting so that it entered the mail service no later than Sat.

While you're reposting, pl confirm that the postal address used was the one in the NTO.

What is a CC? I'll look back and see if I can work that out, and repost for you if I find it. It kind of sounds from context like its the demand for £150, that's been dismissed it seems as the latest request was for £100

The letters seem to have gotten through and been looked at (though dismissed it seems)

The chat link on the website doesn't work, I complained to them about that in my first letter too.

Time, I think has answered most of your queries, as they did get back to me.. Sorry about the delay in response- dont know why I didn't get an email, Notify of replies is checked by default, maybe it went to spam or something. But I appreciate your help

This is what I sent, will look out the digital copy as I get time (am at work so can't spend much time on this at the moment)

I guess I gave the date I received the letter or something :/ I'll try and find that nto too

And yes, Friday the 1st

I don't really know what to do, so am just sending this

Hello

My car was parked there while for a visit in Perth and had some food in a Cafe. There was a PCN on the window upon return.

It seems the area in question is supposed to be for council vehicles only, but it is not marked as such anywhere in or around the parking bays:

Clearly there is no appropriate signage, it is only on hunting around that it can eventually be found that there are white on white signs hidden in the rafters- from the perspective of a driver:
 
 {pictures}

It is not acceptable to expect motorists to see such scant signage.
to highlight, here is a section from the BPA Code of Practice
You must place signs containing the specific parking terms throughout the site, so that drivers are given the chance to read them at the time of parking or leaving their vehicle. Keep a record of where all the signs are. Signs must be conspicuous and legible, and written in intelligible language, so that they are easy to see, read and understand. Signs showing your detailed terms and conditions must be at least 450mm x 450mm

These signs are inconspicuous and camouflaged. As are the laminated sheets of paper, also out of view above the eye-line of motorists who are navigating narrow and potentially dangerous turns and ramps. The below was taken when standing to get an angle where the laminates are even visible, you can imagine how hidden they are when in a car!
 {pictures}
 
 The state of the signage around these bays needs to be reviewed seriously- there should be signs at each parking bay, or at the very least between each charger, and conspicuous prominent signage in plain view in the eyeline of motorists. The signs should not only stipulate that an area is for council use, but that there may be penalties for others using it. There should also be clear indication of which area the signs pertain to, is it just the bays below the signs, the front part of the area? It is unclear. This is another reason why signage should be visible to people when parking, close to vehicles, and close to chargers.
In the next images you can see more evidence that there is no signage to indicate the bay should not be used:
{pictures}
The a4 laminate that is supposed to pass for a sign is at least 4 bays away from the vehicle, high up in the rafters, and hidden from view to cars coming down the ramp by the other rafters and the angle at which you are driving.

 
 It should be noted that any other images considered when reviewing the signage should be looked at with discretion, a driver is lower than someone with a camera held high, and a camera with a flash on will make the signs appear almost visible from that perspective. Remember it is drivers who will be expected to notice signage…

Good catch! Thanks
