Advice needed on appealing parking ticket

The ownership of the carpark is also one to explore, My money says the council own it.
As street view was made by the ark we dont know for certain.

Sorry spacey2012 but I'm not sure I understand your last post.

Are you saying that if I push ahead with disputing it the council are likely to drop it because if I push on and win they will be forced to stop issuing tickets relating to that particular offence in that particular car park ? So it's worth just letting me off so they can continue stinging other people who just pay up without disputing the charge ?

No, because if you win it doesn't set a precedent. Each adjudication turns on its individual circumstances and whilst similar decisions can be persuasive, they are not binding on other cases.

I would say the newspaper article is telling if they haven't bothered to sort the issue out when they publicly promised they would. So use it!

Just carry on appealing once you get the NTO and go to adjudication in the end. You should win but you need to forget the bribe of the discounted penalty (as most people on pepipoo have to learn). It's usually a long game 'all or nothing' and most people on pepipoo do win in the end - as I think you will too.

Then afterwards, there's nowt to stop you contacting the paper but it doesn't force the Council to stop issuing tickets. It does publicise the matter though and help future appellants, just as that other article will help your appeal.

Thanks again for all your help guys. I went back to the scene and took some more photographs which should help to show what a mess they have made of the markings. Have a gander and you'll soon see why I think they are misleading !
