Happy for any advice you can give on this one, I am the keeper of the car in question.
Universal Parking Enforcement are a member of the IPC, although they are wrongly referring to them as the Independent Parking Committee. On their NtK
On a dark night, the car in question was parked in the location, while waiting to pick up a passenger on a delayed flight from nearby Luton Airport.
Location is the entrance cross over to Kellys Storage depot off the A505 – closed at the time. Please see GoogleMaps images of the location during daylight hours. The car was parked well back on the crossover outside the gates.
There is signage, unlit and hard to see in the dark, it was not observed by the driver, but that’s not the issue.
Event happened 29/08/24 – yes nearly 5 months ago
Notice dated 13/01/24 Notice received 20/01/24
The complication is that the Road is the A505 airport way, which is within the Luton Airport ByeLaw area. The boundary of which, runs up the road. The resolution of the map shown is not good so I haven’t included this here. There are double Red Lines running all along both sides of the A505 at this point, so I think we can take it that the road is within the area.
However, the area of the crossover where the car was parked was close to the gates and the lines here are double yellow – as can be seen on the GoogleMaps image. Also the PCN notice states, location “Kellys Storage” and not Luton Airport ByeLaw area etc. I suspect this area on the crossover is not in the byelaw area. I don’t know who owns it, I’d guess its council owned, as it’s outside the gates and next to the road.
Therefore, can you tell me:
Firstly the time elapsed, its obviously way over the POFA required 14 days
Second do Kellys Storage have jurisdiction over this land outside their depot? If they do own it, I would guess this comes under trespass as there is no car parking offered
Thirdly does the ByeLaw area have any bearing on this?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
