UKCPS Pelham Centre Lincoln

Antarmike

I have been ticketed in the Pelham Centre Lincoln. The ticket states that I parked without a permit. I have appealed the ticket stating that the Car park in question is not a pay and display car park, but is a free car park for visitors to the Pelham Centre.

I have their reply where they insist the Car Park is a pay and Display car park and that it was my duty to display a pay and display ticket in my vehicle where it cannot become dislodged.

I have made my second appeal, again stating I was visiting shops within the Pelham Centre and the signs at the entrance to the car park say it is for visitors to the Pelham Centre, who can stay for three hours. They are not alleging I stayed longer than this or that I left the site. They have clearly ticked a box on the ticket that I failed to display a permit. Their reply to my first appeal states " All vehicles must be displaying a valid parking permit or Pay and Display ticket clearly in the windscreen...."

I have in my second appeal stated there is nowhere in the car park a machine from which to purchase a ticket, no signs saying it is pay and display, and I have attached photographs of the signs at the entrance and near where I parked that show the car park is for the use of visitors to the Pelham Centre and they can park for three hours.

I am expecting them to again to reject my appeal. What further can I do when I take my third appeal to POPLA for independent assessment.

Is there a list anywhere of Car parks managed by UKCPS and what their status is, (ie Pay and Display, free for use to customers etc) since UKCPS clearly do not know which of their car parks are Pay and Display and which are for free use of visitors to shopping centres.

Advice welcomed please.

If you want to write to them directly the real address is :
The Travellers living in the Romany caravan
At back car park of the Blooming rose pub:
Burton Row
Holbeck
Leeds.

As opposed to the fake mailbox they use.

Now I know you are going to think I am some kind of Idiot, so I suggest you watch this from 7 minutes onwards. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qgr1l/The_Sheriffs_Are_Coming_Series_2_Episode_14/
Then stop and ask yourself why you are taking them seriously instead of Ignoring them .
