NtK received on the 3/5/25


The incident occurred at Shop Stop, Junction approach, Clapham Junction London SW11 1RU.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/sA7S1ZXgPUtH2p7KA
In the street view images you will see a Shop Stop sign, this is a location for delivering parcels.
To get to Shop Stop you must enter the ANPR parking area.
There is no signin or option to enter a VRN when delivering, only to pay for parking.

The driver was delivering parcels at the Shop Stop.
The signage does state that Shop Stop deliveries are allowed for 20 minuites.
The driver does have evidence of the delivery for Shop Stop.
The driver has delivered at this location previously without a NtK being sent.

This should be a appeal which is accepted, but as these companies try to extort money help would be appreciated on the correct wording and procedure so that the keeper is not implicated.

Below is the appeal I have drafted.
Dear Park Maven Team,
I am writing to formally appeal the parking charge issued in relation to the vehicle at Shop Stop Clapham Junction.
At the time of the alleged contravention, the driver was at the location for legitimate business purposes, delivering several parcels at Shop Stop. This area is known to allow for delivery access, and the visit was in accordance with this usage.
Access for delivery is 20 minutes, delivery on this occasion only took 13 minutes.
Please find attached a delivery schedule as supporting evidence of the visit.
In light of the above, I kindly request that this parking charge be cancelled.
Thank you for your consideration

I've uploaded the back of the NtK

I assumed the signage was current.
I'll go back and look at the ParkMaven signs.

I've uploaded a picture of the Parkmaven signs.
The Parkmaven signs do not mention anything about delivering to the Shop Stop.
Very confusing as the Group Nexus sign clearly allows Shop Stop deliveries, but the only access to Shop Stop is via the Parkmaven controlled area.

This is not an straight forward appeal as I first thought..

Advice appreciated

…UKPC has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.

…UKPC have no hope at POPLA and the PPSCoP, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

Did you change “UKPC” to “ParkMaven”?

Do you have evidence that you were delivering to the location?

You’ll get a second chance to appeal to POPLA when they reject it. I doubt POPLA will be much use though.

This will likely go to a claim where you will be able to defend using Jopson v Homeguard.

It doesn’t matter what appeal you send to the operator... they will reject it.

POPLA is not likely to consider the fact that you were working on site as that is a mitigation factor which they will not consider. They will only look at the facts as they relate to the law or the PPSCoP.

There are no “odds of wining”. They will push as far as they can in the hope you are low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree who will pay up out of ignorance and fear.

A defended claim is highly likely to be struck out or discontinued. The odds of it actually going as far as a hearing,  eye low.

You can ignore or respond with:

Thank you for your reply. Your statement that I "remain liable under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012" is incorrect. Your Notice to Keeper fails to comply with Schedule 4 of PoFA in several material respects:

• No valid invitation to the keeper to pay, contrary to paragraph 9(2)(e)(i)
• Payment deadline set two days early, contrary to paragraph 9(2)(f)

These statutory breaches mean that you cannot rely on PoFA to hold the keeper liable. As such, I am under no obligation to name the driver, and will not be doing so.

If you reject this appeal, I require a POPLA code so I may escalate the matter.
