Private parking tickets / Re: UK Parking Control - Leyton Mills Retail Park E10 - Overstay
« on: May 08, 2026, 07:18:32 pm »
Thank You.

I went back to the store today and spoke with the Customer Services Manager who has emailed UKPC with a request to cancel. Although, he was being evasive with the usual disclaimer of no guarantee etc and he also wouldn't give me any contact details so I am able to obtain confirmation that it will indeed be cancelled on Monday.

I have to wait a week and go back again and then I will have to pester him again - fortunately I noted his name and the time I spoke with him. Seems a rather inefficient process so I may just drop a note to the CEO anyway...

Private parking tickets / UK Parking Control - Leyton Mills Retail Park E10 - Overstay
« on: May 08, 2026, 12:03:27 pm »
Went to do Bi Monthly Asda shop (big shop) on 04/05 with 2 young children and it took significantly longer due to children being distressed in the store and having to take a pause to comfort and calm down before proceeding with big shop and checked out with £336 of groceries. Anyone with young children will know it can be a military operation and this one failed miserably, loaded them in the car strap them in and , then another 15 minutes to load groceries and left mentally exhausted.

A few days later UKPC hit me with an invoice for breaching terms of Free 3 hour parking.

This is a lease car so they went to the lease company first and this made it's way by email with Authority to speak directly.

My first actions have been to contact Asda Customer Services by phone (today) however because it's not Paking Eye or Horizon Parking they said they can't do anything. They only request cancellation to those companies.

My second action will be to go in store and see if they can help leverage some support, but I doubt I will get anywhere.

Thought of having to pay another £60 on something that was out of my control is just mind boggling. However, UK PC can't see what is going on in store.

Where do I stand with this?

One small point which may be moot-

BUT

Should the observation time on the PCN before they issue be a minute or so at least.. it currently reads from 11:27 to 11:27?

Might be a dud point

So pay the discounted rate then I guess as the conclusion?

WF's site is very slow - if you keep the evidence window open they will appear.

I'd say you had a lucky escape and should pay the discount but let's check the signage and traffic order first.

Okay - Do you need anything from me in order to do this?

So presumably - no successful chance of an appeal?

Thanks.

Hello,

Parked in the parking bays on the side of 'Pizza Point' (GSV below) and in haste forgot to Pay by Phone. Narrowly avoided the car from being 'lifted' after darting out of nearby shop once being made aware that there was a vehicle about to be lifted by a local shopkeeper. Sprinted to said bay and asked 'Why are you lifting me'..

The warden then proceeded to walk around the car and show part of the rear tyre that was out of the bay and on the 'single yellow' - again in haste and rushing around the driver didn't check whether the vehicle was completely in the bay.

Yellow sticker PCN affixed to vehicle - Not sure if this has to be done before its lifted. In any case the contravention is 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. Currently still within the 14 days.

Went to attempt to pay payment - but stopped short and thought lets have a look at the images/video - of which there isn't any that I could spot.. Is the PCN still valid?

Best advise please..

IF you did not receive the PCN, wait for the Order for Recovery.

What does this mean and what options does this provide? Is this a debt/enforecement?

Hello,

In a bit of a stunned state, received a letter titled "Charge Certificate" bypassing any other letters like an NTO or original letter informing about the contravention - which did not arrive pre-xmas. Fast forward to 05/01/2024 - and a birthday present arrived in the post in the form of a charge certificate! Happy Birthday to me… not the kind of present I was hoping for…

No representations were made due to not being aware of the contravention (but I suspect LBWF – will not want to know?!) and now this has increased by 50% - which is disgusting! After receiving this, I have gone to the LBWF Website to view the contravention footage and images - shown below.

Recollection of Event
I vaguely remember going to collect a parcel from the post office in Station Road E4 where you need to turn right at the lights- and thought I had cleared the junction but evidently not.
£195 is just outrageous.

Next Steps

What are my options?

Would appreciate some help as I apparently I have to respond within 14 days from 04/01/2024 or date of receipt 05/01/2024…
Thank You!

Thank You.

I have sent a response but awaiting to hear and have to allow 56 days for a response! Does it really need 56 days consideration time... ::)

Hello,

I just wondered if the GSV was of any use and if it changes the advice?

Thanks
Well, I think it does, because a BB doesn't allow you to park off-carriageway. If you look around using your link you'll see marked bays painted so they are part off the carriageway. You can park in these OK, but not where there are none.
Having said that, in order to allow off-carriageway parking, the council must pass a resolution. It has been found that many of these just authorise such parking by naming the street, implying all of the street is permitted, not just the painted bays.  Councils just get their highway team to paint the bays, without formalising their position. However, the council may have done things properly, and the only way to find out is to ask for the resolution.
Our administrator has got a lot of experience with this, so you may get a result. It is also invariably the case that you have to take them to London Tribunals for an unbiased decision. Councils are totally biased when dealing with PCNs because they keep the money if you pay-up.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. This is useful information.

Is there a template format that I can use to ask for the resolution? And where can I find more information about this resolution?

Thank You.

Firstly, Katherine Road is a long road, so it is essential you give us a GSV link telling us exactly where your father parked.

Thank You, I have asked for someone to re-visit the location and take pictures and send me a video also, which I will post on here.

In the meantime this is the GSV link of the location, parked opposite G.A Metals on the Single Yellow.

Hello,

I am seeking some advice on behalf of my elderly father. I will stick to the facts that I have been told as this is now at the NTO stage and as a pensioner it is causing him considerable stress so would appreciate any advice if anything can be done - or if £130 should now be paid.

The vehicle was parked in London Borough of Newham, Katherine Road E7 which is quite a busy road and not unusual to see cars parked either completely on the footpath or with "one or more wheels on the footpath.."

A visit was made to a shop to pick up some items and the vehicle was driven by a family member and parked with both wheels on the pavement. My father has a mobility issue so a valid blue badge was also displayed. From examining the pictures, it appears to show CEO placing PCN on windscreen. HOWEVER, from speaking to both Father and Helper - they were both none the wiser until the arrival of NTO - and both state that when they returned to vehicle there was 'No PCN on the windscreen, therefore we were unaware until the NTO arrived'. They also state it is possible someone could have tampered with or removed the ticket inside the yellow wrapper.

Obviously this isn't a plausible defence and I can't go back to the council with this.

I have asked for the exact location they were parked so I can see the GSV images - however looking at the images - in the background it can be clearly seen that there are other vehicles that are parked wholly on the pavement (white mercedes)..

I am aware that there is a blanket ban in London for vehicles parking with wheels on or over a footpath unless prescribed by signage.

Please see images.







I have asked for the exact location so I can get a GSV and post it up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
