Hello Lads.
I had a reply from my appeal letter last Friday:
We refer to your appeal in respect of the above Charge Notice (CN) received on 15/06/2026.
Having considered the points you have raised and reviewed our records, we are unable to accept your appeal. Our
main reason(s) for this decision are as follows:
The signs where your vehicle was observed within the Fuel Station, clearly state "No Stopping", giving clear notice
that the land is private property and that a Charge of £100 will be levied if vehicles do stop. The above detailed
vehicle stopped in a zone where stopping is prohibited and the driver became liable to pay the advertised Charge.
We note that you have declined to name the driver of your vehicle at the time of the incident in question. It is
important that we make you aware that in this case we may pursue you as the registered keeper of the vehicle for the
outstanding Charge, as per Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA).
The notice sent to you clearly states: Please be warned: that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day
after the Issue Date of this Notice, the amount of the unpaid Parking Charge specified in this Notice has not been paid
in full and we do not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, we will have
the right to recover from the registered keeper, any unpaid balance of the Parking Charge. This Notice will be deemed
to have been received by you on the second working day after the Issue Date stated above unless the contrary is
proved.
A review of our CCTV evidence has confirmed that on the date in question, your vehicle stopped for an unreasonable
amount of time in any area where stopping for any reason is strictly prohibited. As stated, the signs near to the
location your vehicle was observed clearly stated "No Stopping" and warned that if you did so, you were liable for the charge advertised.
I hope and will thank you all in anticipation for your further advice on my next move.
Cheers!
