hi all. as the title says, I have got another parking ticket. This time was at the Hospital with my wife. There was no parking spaces for me to park at the hospital and I was in a rush to park. however there was a side street behind the hospital where I noticed a few cars were parked. so I though ooh these guys must know a secret parking spot. at this point I must say that there were double red markings on the floor,(very faint but could see them). the area was very secluded, it was no ambulance way etc, just a quiet little area with a few vans parked there. so I proceeded to park there and on my return there was a ticket on my windscreen. sooo, the question is have I a leg to stand on as I was parked on double reds even though it was not in a dangerous/busy area. I have won previously with popla but this time its parked on double reds. what can I do...
ON THE PLUS SIDE MY WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY BOY WEIGHING IN AT 7.8lbs. WHOOP WHOOP.... However in this case a PLUS and MINUS still make a MINUS ey. Damn you CPP (this is the name of the PPC btw)

On a real highway double red lines mean absolutely don't even think of parking they are more restrictive than yellows, but if this is private land they are just pretty paint, and must be covered by signage.
You do however seem to have a very lackadaisical approach to parking your car!Hi all at MSE.
I have just got back from tesco's coventry. I have been given a parking charge for parking on cross hatchings..i was not there for long.Hi all. I have managed to gets another parking ticket at Lidl. I have used this forum before and won my appeal with Popla. However in this case the ppc is athena anpr which is not BPA but IPC. I overstayed by 2 hours.(lomg story) am i right to ignore this parking ticket
You are now going to have to go through the process all over again, maybe start this one with a chat with PALS at the hospital.
Oh and congratulations with the little one!:)0 -
Congratulations. Yes you have a leg to stand on. The thread titled Newbies at the top of this forum contains all the information you need to see this ticket off.
There are a few CPPs which one is this?0 -
Apologies for the late reply. Have been busy with baby.
hi, yes I know. I do seem to have a habit now, I guess its got to do with realising these PPCs are all fraudsters. Moving on I have received my NTK. I do know that the hospital is private land so the RED painted lines on the floor don't mean anything. how shall I put this to the PPC. or shall I first send the basic appeal process on this forum and wait for POPLA code right?0 -
Hi, unfortunately I don't have any pals at the hospital who can help me out.0

there was signage but the usual very small metal sign boards etc0

PALS, Patient Advice and Liaison Service! Get in touch with them, not your personal 'pals'. :doh:
Use the appropriate one from post #1 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky. Fisherjim asked you which parking company, but you've failed to provide an answer. Which PPC it is will determine which appeal template you use, and whether you have access to POPLA.shall I first send the basic appeal process on this forum and wait for POPLA code right?
I think I'd be working on the basis of some of them being highly litigious and adopt future parking decisions based on that!hi, yes I know. I do seem to have a habit now, I guess its got to do with realising these PPCs are all fraudsters.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

As Umkomaas said you treat this like any other private parking ticket based on who the PPC is, you have not told us.
The red lines are immaterial to the way you handle it.
As said before you need to get a grip on your silly devil-may care attitude to parking or you will come unstuck!0 -
thanks for you help guys. The PPC is CPP which is BPA associated. I will get the full details when I go home. at work atm. Yes I do need to change my ways. But at the time I was more focused on my wife and baby. I shall be in touch asap. thanks again0
