Hemel Sportspace PCN

I've Just received a parking ticket for using the Hemel Hempstead Sportspace car park whilst going for a swim. When using the Sportspace car park you need to input your car registration into a machine inside the reception.

I have been a member of Sportspace for over a year and have inputed my registration every single time. On the occassion in question, I used the swimming pool for like an hour. I can only assume that when inputting my registration I got a digit wrong.

I have appealed to the clamping company, ce-service.co.uk, detailing the fact I was using the facilities the car park was intended for and asking them to show mercy, although I fully expect them to reject my appeal as is their wont.

Any help/advice would be most appreciated as I feel £100 is a ridiculous fine for using a car park for the purpose it is there for and what I should do when they reject my appeal.

Did you give away the driver's detsils when you appealed? I hope not.

Most likely your initial appeal will be rejected and you will be given a PoPLA code.

So, if the sports centre don't cancel this and you become an ex-member, you will then need to read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES and construct a PoPLA appeal using the latest information there, and also the most recent successful appeals from the POPLA Decisions Sticky thread at the top of the page.
