Parking Charge Manchester Airport Terminal 2 drop off

Hi Im new to the site but using it after a recommendation.  We received a Parking Charge £60 (If paid with 28 days) for a 2mins 23 seconds drop off at Manchester Airport.  The airport have changed their system recently from barriers to automatic number plane recognition, and we didn't realise.  They only give 24 hrs to pay & we didn't find out about the change until a week had passed.

I've enclosed the notice - Is there anything we can do?

I've removed that as you've left your full name and home address visible.

As Manchester Airport is subject to byelaws, it is subject to "statutory control", and as such, not relevant land for the purposes of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act, meaning they cannot hold the keeper liable. You could therefore appeal along the lines of the below. If you are not the registered keeper (if it's a lease vehicle, for example), let us know as the approach will be slightly different.

Dear Sirs,

I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ______) for vehicle registration mark _______, in which you allege that the driver has incurred a parking charge. I am appealing as the registered keeper of the vehicle. There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act").

Even if you were seeking to do so, as Manchester Airport is not "relevant land" as defined by The Act you are unable to recover the charge from me, the keeper.

I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue a POPLA code.

Yours,

Many thanks for the help.  Should the standard charges of £6.20 be paid if possible?

Too late to pay the original charges at this point. If you send the appeal I have suggested, APCOA will cancel the charge.
