I received a PCN for parking according to CPM in an obstructive way but all residents park there when there is bays available. They enforced this for about a month and are no longer enforcing. I appealed base on that the bay marking are fainted and there are no lines or signs to say no parking there and that all residents have always parked there. But this was rejected with “Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal, as per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the vehicle was parked in an area where no parking is allowed, we can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.”

What did your appeal say and, in particular, did you identify the driver in it?
This was my appeal: “I am writing to formally appeal against the above Parking Charge Notice issued to my vehicle (registration: GY11OFG) on 05/08/2025 at Besson Street & Lanchester Way, London SE14 5AE. I request that this PCN be cancelled on the following grounds: 1. Valid Permit Holder I am a resident and a valid permit holder for this location. My permit entitles me to park within the estate, and therefore the charge is incorrectly issued. 2. No Clear Signage There is no clear signage at the location which prohibits parking where my vehicle was stationed. The signs in the area are inadequate, ambiguous, and fail to meet the requirements set out in the British Parking Association�s Code of Practice regarding visibility and clarity. 3. Road Markings Are Poorly Maintained The bays in this area are extremely poorly marked, making it unclear where parking is and isn�t permitted. Additionally, the double yellow lines end at the location where I parked, which reasonably indicates that parking is allowed beyond that point. 4. Non-compliance by Parking Warden The operative issuing the ticket was not in proper uniform or wearing visible identification at the time of issue, contrary to the terms and conditions of your own enforcement procedures. This calls into question the validity of the PCN itself. In light of the above, the charge is not valid and must be cancelled immediately.”
I didn’t identify the driver
I didn’t identify the driver
Oh yes you did:
...at the location where I parked, which...
All the Keeper should ever do is refer to the driver int he third person. All you had to say was "...at the location where the
driver parked, which..."
Never mind. As a resident, what precisely does your lease/tenancy agreement say about parking? What it doesn't say is equally important.
In the vast majority of these residential cases, the operator has ni standing to issue PCNs, but until you confirm exactly what your lease says, we cannot advise further.
I haven’t got access to that as I’m short term lease.
I guess I will have to pay.
I haven’t got access to that as I’m short term lease.
I'm unsure why being on a short term lease would mean you don't have access to the contents of your lease documents? A short term lease is still a lease...
That's your choice, personally I wouldn't. try to get a copy of your short-term lease. Others will advise you to eventully get a POPLA number for an appeal there. At that stage they too will turn down your appeal. then follows a series of threatograms from debt collectors who will ry to persuade you to pay. This will last many months, but is worth waiting. IF the case ever gets to county court, they usually give up.
