NCP - Misusing parent and child bays - Swansea Kingsway
« on: »
The driver was issued a parking charge by NCP at Kingsway, Swansea, date of incident of 24/02/2026 and received on 02/03/2026 for allegedly misusing a parent and child bay. I’m assuming their evidence is based on photos showing no child seat in the vehicle.

I haven’t responded yet and want to make sure I don’t accidentally weaken my position.
Thanks in advance!

Can you confirm that the driver did have a child with them? If so, what roughly what age are we talking?

FWIW, the NtK is not PoFA compliant.

The driver did not have a child with them, and was not aware that it was a parent and child bay. Is this worth contesting?

Yes, as long as you move to talking about the registered keeper receiving the PCN rather than the driver, and because the PCN is not compliant with PoFA 2012 the liability can not be transferred from the unknown driver to the registered keeper.

At the moment you’re possibly shooting yourself in the foot by identifying the driver.

It's no surprise that NCP have gone bust!

This was my appeal to NCP:

I am the registered keeper of the vehicle in receipt of the Parking Charge Notice.

I note that your Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the strict requirements set out in Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA). As a consequence, you are unable to transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver to me, the registered keeper. There is therefore no lawful basis upon which I, as keeper, can be held liable.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am under no obligation to identify the driver, and will not be doing so.

Given that you cannot rely on PoFA to pursue the registered keeper, I require that you cancel this Parking Charge Notice immediately.

Should you choose to reject this appeal, you must provide a detailed explanation as to how your Notice to Keeper fully complies with Schedule 4 of PoFA 2012. You must also provide all evidence on which you intend to rely, together with a valid POPLA verification code so that the matter may be referred to the independent appeals service.
I do not consent to the processing of my personal data beyond that which is strictly necessary for the consideration of this appeal.
I look forward to your confirmation that this matter is now closed.

The appeal has been rejected with popla code issued:

I assume it’s time for me to start drafting a popla appeal?

That letter was clearly written by a 7 year old doing (very early) work experience?

Who lets a 7 year old answer the appeals?

Oh yes! It's NCP!

They'll probably go bust you know!
