AS signs seem to pertain that he's a member of the "BPA."

Anyone know if that's true, and if not, is their any recourse ?

could be a corporate member of both , OR has not amended their signage

but clearly uses the IAS for appeals due to being on their AOS list (like UKCPS)

PPC_hater

yes corporate BPA logo on website but IPC roundel , there were comments on this (at pepipoo) , and it seems the BPA said "due to the number of signs he has installed we all allowing him time to change them " , that was back in about july/aug !


although further complaints (in November) would not go amiss!

They have the BPA and IPC logos on the NTD but the signage implies IPC

the BPA is made up of 2 parts . the corporate side , that's the one that holds the nice dinner dances and "boys days out" , your local council will be a member of this!


the other side is the Approved trade assoc side that (supposedly) regulates PRIVATE parking and provides them legality behind getting info from the DVLA.


they are run as separate entities and have different paperwork.


the Corporate BPA has a long logo that reads "BPA"


the ATA side has a circular (roundel) logo that reads "BPA Approved operator"


any company can join the "boys club" , even IPC members

Thanks, PPC hater! This is what the estate management reply to the householder on complaining. Why the reference to British Parking Association?

All property owners on the development have been provided with two free parking permits and the option to purchase an additional two permits for £15 each. This is in addition to each property owners own demised parking spaces or garages.

As requested I can now respond to the points you raised as follows:

1. The parking permit signs are black and white

The parking permit scheme is fully operated by A.S Parking Management and Enforcement Services, who are members of the British Parking Association’s Approved Operator Scheme. All signage relating to the permit parking scheme is provided by AS Parking and is in an approved format.

2. The parking permit signs are too high

Signs are displayed around the site at various levels. The first sign on entry to xxxx is clearly visible at eye level whilst driving and states that it is a private road with permit parking restrictions in place. Other signs around the site are displayed at appropriate heights for roadside signage.

3. The street lighting is inadequate

The street lighting at xxxx is maintained by Persimmon Homes until such time as the roads and streetlights are adopted by Cornwall Council. Any faults with the street lights should be notified to Persimmon Homes or to our office so that we can notify Persimmon Homes on your behalf.

4. There are no road markings identifying the permit parking restrictions

The signs displayed around the development notifying visitors that there is a permit parking restriction in place are considered to be adequate, and road markings are not considered necessary.

5. Parking permits should only be required during office hours

Unfortunately, before the permit parking restrictions were introduced, unauthorised parking was a problem 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In fact the problems were generally worse in the evenings and at weekends, when most residents were at home.

Visitors to the development are given adequate notice that there are parking restrictions in place, and parking charge notices are issued in accordance with the British Parking Association’s approved guidelines.

If you feel the parking charge notices that were issued were unjustified, the driver of each vehicle has the right to an appeal, and full details of the appeals process are given on the parking charge notice and should be sent to -

eyes on the ground chappie , isn't he ?

What does your tenancy agreement say about parking and have you signed anything since regarding parking?

PPC_hater

he only knows as much as to what is happening, and the signage that is used (and the lighting) as the "muppets" are feeding him.


no 5: Parking permits should only be required during office hours

what time did your incident take place?

Clearly you have too much time on your hands and keep saying I am from A S, I have neither lost my password but as stated seems attempts to block my account.

LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR I AM A RESIDENT AND NOT A S PARKING, SEEMS A TAD STRANGE THAT ALL POINTS HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE OFFENDING DRIVER....WHY COULD THAT BE.... MAYBE BECAUSE NOW A LITTLE ASHAMED THAT A RESIDENT HAS VOICED THE TRUE VERSION OF THE ACCOUNT REGARDING THE NIGHT IN QUESTION AND SHE CAN NOT JUSTIY HER PARKING ERROR NOR HAVE THE DECENCY TO APOLOGISE FOR BLOCKING PEOPLES DRIVE/GARAGES.
YOU CAN THINK ALL DAY LONG THAT I AM FROM A S PARKING I DONT CARE, I AND OTHER RESIDENTS KNOW THAT I AM NOTHING TO DO WITH A S PARKING. I HAVE SHOWN THE VERSION OF EVENTS FROM THE RESIDENTS SIDE OF THINGS AND HAVE NO NEED TO POST ANYMORE. KERENSA, HER FELLOW PARTY GOERS AND INDEED THE RESIDENT SHOULD ALL KNOW BETTER THAT I AM AFRAID IS THE BOTTOM LINE AND THE SOONER THEY TAKE THAT ON BOARD THE BETTER RATHER THAN AS ALREADY STATED TRYING TO WRIGGLE OUT OF THEIR OWN MISTAKE.
THANK YOU AND GOOD BYE.
(JUST TO CLARIFY A RESIDENT WHO SUFFERED A BLOCKED GARAGE AND HAD TO PARK MILES AWAY FROM MY OWN HOUSE DUE TO ARROGANT AND IGNORANT DRIVERS.)
TOOTLE PIP!

OH dear Maddog, well if you are not the PPC, you should start one, think it will suit you with your terminology
