Permit Holders Only Premier Park

Options
Hey guys!

I parked my car in a service area (Huge shared area at the back of post office and few other reatailers) which happens to be for a permit holders only. I didn't see the sign post at the entrance as it was facing towards opposite direction. I assume its free to park on a single yellow line on the street but since this area was deserted in the evening and not blocking any traffics on the move, I just thought about nothing but to park and wait until my little girl is done attending the birthday party.

The terms and conditions in a small hoarding board was not visible as there wasn't any lights within the premise.

Now facing the PCN from permier park!

Any suggestion please?

    Read up on this in the newbies faq thread near the top of the forum and follow its advice on how and when to appeal this

    Also read upon forbidding signs.

    Sounds like a forbidding sign, what did it say? can you go back and get a photo?
    if you can get a photo of the signage, and the sign facing the wrong way you should do so immediately.
    You may find that as soon as you identify the sign facing the wrong way on here, it will be magically fixed even if it was wrong for weeks/months/years

  • Sent a appeal using the BPA template from the newbies. They got back to me asking to identify the driver and further goes on... the keeper will be liable! They also quoted "(1)This Schedule applies where—
    (a)the driver of a vehicle is required by virtue of a relevant obligation to pay parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on relevant land; and

    (b)those charges have not been paid in full.

    (2)It is immaterial for the purposes of this Schedule whether or not the vehicle was permitted to be parked (or to remain parked) on the land."

    Any advice please?

    OK so look at the templates in post #3 of the NEWBIES thread, you are advised to pick out the ones that relate to your case (usually at least 4). Show us the draft you put together.
