UK CPS (PPC) ticket on public road

If I shout do you think anyone will answer the question, IS IT CERTAIN THAT THE PLACE WHERE THEY ARE TICKETING IS IN FACT OWNED BY THEM? Not sure if anyone can here me but if you do is there any chance of a reply.

The Land Registry is cheap to use.

The road has split status and is unclear where one starts an another stops. Where my wifes car was seems to have been on the border. if you can imagine driving on the road there are warning signs about no parking to your left and right, all over the place. They then stop in what appears to be a publicly owned cul de sac. Cars are parked here all day every day and left alone. My wifes car was parked in an area with no yellow lines, marked bays or warning signs. Since she was ticketed a warning sign on a post has gone up making it obvious you cant park there now. This was not the case at the the time.

Yes, but even after all this time, people getting ticketed, has anyone actually tried to find out if they are ticketing illegally as alleged by the OP and possibly others? As suggested the land registry route is a good way to start and maybe finish the scammers off for good.

I don't know about the illegal ticketing but I know the street is a split street and the keep putting up and moving signs around!! I got my sixth letter saying I owe 300 but as a good will gesture if I pay within the next seven days I only need to pay 200 but they have filed papers for court if I don't pay within the week. I am a bit worried no matter how many times I have read in here about companies not going ahead with the court summons but I know my luck I would end up having to falk out about 500 pounds in court as am example to others!

I doubt I'll bother to reply to this thread anymore. The op said they had been ticketed by a ppc on a public road, despite repeated suggestions to check with the council/land registry as to who owns the road involved, no-one seems willing to make the effort. How many more drivers will seemingly be duped into paying before someone clears this up. Oh Well.

The council say it is a split road half private (st michaels court) and half public (shire oak street) but there is no clear boundry as to where one starts and one stops except there is a noticable change in road markings (end of double yellow lines and start if a slight dirt track) which most people would assume means end if ticketing area therefore end of private land. As for land registry .... I don't really know what it is/how to go about it (I find all these ppc ect things very confusing!!)

Thank you ... While searching for the post code I came across an article from a Leeds publication about planning permission or something, anyway st michaels court is basically 1 shire oak street so the car park is the property of the company and therefore private, however doesn't that mean that anything that is not a parking bay is just part of shire oak street....which is public land. That's how I interpretted it anyway!

I don't have the Internet at the moment and I am doing all this off my phone but the land registry website doesn't really work well on my phone! But I will check it out as soon as I get connected (when aol untap my phone line Grrrrr!!) or when I can find a wifi area near work.
