I parked my car at the top of a local street - The Nurseries, NN1 5HN. This is a dead end road. The top section of the road is owned by a local hospital and is private land. There is no signage to say it is private land and that you cannot park there but I used to work for this hospital so I know they own it.
I parked well within the area that I know to be private land but on 7th April I was given a ticket by a Council Parking Warden for Code 01 parked in restricted street during prescribed hours. The section of the road that is owned by the council is restricted parking Mon - Fri 8am - 6pm and there are sign posts to this affect along the council owned section of the road, not on the private land.
I contacted the local private hospital and they confirmed that they are not aware of a contract with the local council to allow them to issues tickets on their land (I asked specifically about the top of The Nurseries). The road is a dead end and my car was not blocking or restricting access to any public access/right of way.
I want to appeal the parking ticket, can you advise the best approach for this please. I have the pictures from taken when the PNC was issued. I also took my own pictures of my car when I saw it had been ticketed (to prove it is not blocking a right of way etc.). I have the email from the private hospital to say they are not aware of having a contact with the council to allow them to ticket on their land. The hospital attempted to sell this piece of private land a year or so ago and I also happen to have a photograph of the for sale sign on the private land (right where I was parked). I would appreciate your advice please. Many thanks Clare
