Threat to notify police of illegal parking

pink.bunny_3

I used to park down a sideroad for the past year and have just had a note left on my window informing me that my car had been regularly parking in a private space and if it continued the police would be notified. (The note was a printed scrap of paper, not official looking). A company are claiming the road is private yet there are no signs and the road looks to continue on from a public road. When I collected my car at the time I was rudely shouted at by the company's security guard who kept refering to me as 'missy' and I was left very upset. How can I find out who owns the land and if I genuinely should not have been parking there?

The company has a car park on it's premises with restricted access which doesn't automatically mean the company owns the road leading to the building aswell. The building next door has a security guard too, the equivalent road is owned by the council and has restricted parking.

I do not see what the police have to do with it,at best it is a 'civil' dispute

I'm pretty sure it's not private land, I'm asking for advice on how to prove this not a judgement on whether I have any intellect or am telling the truth please.

OP, ask the council. The police would not be interested in your parking on private land, in any event.

Trust me. I am pretty sure it is private land.

Do you really think a security guard getting paid minimum wage for 60 hrs a week is going to bother you unless there is a reason?

Anyway, go to the council, they will have records to what is public & you will find out for yourself.
