    Be careful, PE could still turn a blind eye and railroad a CCJ :eek:

    Thanks fil cad for the advice. I will make sure I keep all correspondence from work. I have an email from our FM to say cancelled with PE and how terribly sorry he is about it.

    I can't believe we are using them !!!

    This story needs telling to your MP and how about to Andrew Jones the Under-Secretary for Transport, who brushed away the MP's relevant issues about this cowboy industry.

    If your work has an 'exceptions' book in order to allow reasonable adjustments for workers and visitors who meet the definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010 (and jolly good on them!) then that parking 'attendant' MUST check that exceptions book before issuing a PCN.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi coupon-mad. Thanks as always for your advice. So my mp getting a double whammy on ecp and PE .... ;). Yes we have an "exceptions" book. I pointed this out to pretend enforcer in his blue hi-vis to be told "it doesn't matter you are not displaying a blue badge"....

    I had a thread going in July 2015 where ukpcs ticketed me for 9 mins outside boots on a retail park .. cancelled by landowner and retailer for the same condition!!!!!

    Just shows how crap the 'NVQ in private parking' is that these goons ''pass''. I read it once, offered by City & Guilds and it had a whole irrelevant section about Blue Badges and nothing that I can recall about the Equality Act. An absolutely shocking piece of training material.

    Discrimination happens because these idiots are badly trained and their employer PPCs are greedy !!!!!!!s.

    Not a common event for a 'boots on the ground' ParkingEye ticket. AFAICR I've never read a previous PE disabled bay parking case. Is it definitely PE?

    Here's a video showing one of Parking Eyes finest boots on the ground at work

    An NVQ private parking ???!!! You couldn't make it up !!!!
  • I have half a mind to go and enrol. It will be such fun. And then I'll find some private land I have no rights to and stick up some signs and start ticketing people. I can then retire to somewhere exotic, leaving behind my loads of children.
    How long is the course? 30 minutes?

    Make sure the land is rough ground with no proper drive able surface, full of potholes and a sign with size 6 font and no lighting !!!
  • yes, and I must not forget to disclaim any liability whatsoever for the state of the car park


    Seriously, I'd love to get an NVQ in private parking, it would really make my CV stand out. Perhaps I could be the next head of the BPA?
