PCN in residential parking bay while stopped for 10 mins loading furniture.

Hello! Thanks for clicking on my post


Today I received a PCN from a company called Parking Control Management. It states that I parked for a duration of 10 minutes on private land which is PERMIT HOLDERS ONLY.





The driver was collecting some furniture from a Facebook marketplace seller, and I am surprised that it was even 10 minutes. Now they want at least £60!

I have appealed the notice on the grounds that the vehicle was being loaded with heavy furniture from a resident, and that I was not the driver of the car.

I have also attached a screenshot of a message from the seller telling me that there is a car park which can be used to "load and stuff" alongside their full address.

What are the chances of this winning on appeal, and if not, do I have a leg to stand on to continue to complain and push ahead?

I'm currently fighting with a Real Estate agent who is not giving me a permit for my separate and unrelated parking space at home (where I got ticketed), so this £60 is really hitting me!


Thanks for reading! Any thoughts/help would be much appreciated.

As you appear to have made an appeal in double time I think you should have held off until you received the appropriate advice. All water under the bridge at this point. If you can obtain signs and perhaps if you have a copy of the appeal this may be of use in any further action. It may seem harsh under the circumstances but the parking companies show very little sympathy and just want your money.We will need to see their reply but it will probably be usual close but no cigar and want you to pay.

Yeah silly mistake on my part - was just anxious to do something (and somewhat indignant). Will see what they say.

I'll know for (hopefully not) next time!

Shame! Works for me (although a quite a few salacious messages from various women also load... lucky me!)
