Free Traffic Legal Advice

I have own an apartment in a large residential property (leasehold) since 2012 which is managed by a facilities management company.
I have my own designated parking bay which listed in my deeds.

When I moved in there was no parking enforcement scheme but this was introduced by the facilities management company in 2016.
I didn't want to participate in the scheme so agreed with the then facilities management company that I would opt out and I have email evidence of this.
I did get the occasional ticket which I raised with the facilities company and they got the parking enforcement organisation to retract the ticket.

In 2022 the facilities management company changed and in June of this year they emailed all tenants to say they were introducing a new parking enforcement company. I email replied to state I had opted out previous and wish to continue to opt out.
I didn't receive any reply.

About 5 weeks ago I received a parking ticket so I emailed the new facilities management company to re-state I had opted out and please get the ticket rescinded. They emailed back to say I can't opt out.
Since then I have tried to call on multiple occasions and nobody was willing to speak with me to explain why I couldn't continue to opt out.
I had to continue to park in my bay and I have now received a further ticket whilst this issue was (in my opinion) in dispute.

I have now sent them evidence from correspondence with the previous facilities management company stating I had opted out but the new management company just replied to state that it is not possible to opt out.

There is nothing in my leaseholders agreement to state I have to participate in a parking enforcement scheme.

So, is legally possible to opt-out?
Should my opt-out from the previous scheme have rolled-on to the new scheme; or if not should I have received formal notification
And, would it be an acceptable argument to argue the 2 current tickets I have are invalid as they were issued when I have documented evidence of my opt out and hadn't at that point received notification on any changes to my opt-out.
thanks

As said, we need to see the lease as it refers to:

Parking;
Resolution of disputes.

We also need to know the relationship between the other party to the lease (the landlord) and the 'facilities management company'. Then the question of why have you not contacted the other party to the lease about this matter might come into focus. If any action by the FMC purports to rights of you or the landlord then they should also know what's going on.

Today parking, tomorrow walking on cracks in the pavement?

and the ticket

It's not so much parking enforcement, but what your lease says about you having the right to park.

I have two issues on-going.
1. How do I appeal the 2 PCN tickets I have received so far?
(these were issued when I believed I had opted out of a parking enforcement scheme)

2. Do I have the right to appeal that I can no longer opt out of the parking enforcement scheme or do I have to abide by whatever the management company decides

Thanks for the message and your thoughts so far.
I will look again for the tenancy agreement but will also check out the forums you mentioned and try to draft something to send to the enforcement company and management company

I've removed the attachment as you have included your email address and phone number in there.

I'd redact those and Reupload!

And as an aside, I'd leave your phone number out. You want to do any communication with the parking company in writing, so that you have a record of everything.

In terms of the focus of the letter, I'd focus on your rights as the owner of the space, and primacy of contract.
